    Abstract

    Local non-resectable, hilar cholangiocarcinoma can be cured by performing a liver transplantation. The initially poor results after transplantation have significantly improved since neoadjuvant therapy protocols have been established. Therefore, hilar cholangiocarcinoma is now an accepted indication for liver transplantation in selected patients. This article summarizes the current state, recommendations and results of liver transplantation for these patients.
