    Being a CC survivor due to a transplant I am not sure if that article was a positive thing??
    I guess I will just have to keep proving it is!!

    An article by Mayo Clinic doctors.

    The impact of neoadjuvant chemoradiation on the tumor burden prior to liver transplantation in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22140024

    Eyebrow-raising quote:

    “In our series disease recurrence was significantly associated with … shorter waiting time to LT after the chemoradiation protocol”

    IOW, waiting longer between chemoradiation and LT might be better.
