Abstract
Photodynamic therapy with stenting resulted in longer survival than stenting alone. Early PDT after diagnosis and multiple PDT treatments were shown to have survival benefits. Metal stent patency was longer in patients receiving PDT. Higher T-stage appears to be a predictor of early mortality in advanced bile duct cancer treated with PDT.
