Abstract
Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to summarize the current knowledge of cholangiocarcinoma molecular biology and to suggest a framework for implementation of next-generation sequencing in all stages of liver transplantation. This is timely as recent guidelines recommend increased use of these technologies with promising results.
Recent findings: The main themes covered here address germline and somatic genetic alterations recently discovered in cholangiocarcinoma, particularly those associated with prognosis and treatment responses, and nascent efforts to translate these into contemporary practice in the peri-liver transplantation period.
Summary: Early efforts to translate molecular profiling to cholangiocarcinoma care demonstrate a growing number of potentially actionable alterations. Still lacking is a consensus on what biomarkers and technologies to adopt, at what scale and cost, and how to integrate them most effectively into care with the ambition of increasing the number of patients eligible for liver transplantation and improving their long-term outcomes.
