The present study is designed to determine whether adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy improves overall survivals.
The role of adjuvant radiotherapy in gallbladder carcinoma (GBCA) or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC) is unknown. A retrospective study suggested that chemoradiotherapy provides greater benefit than chemotherapy alone in GBCA patients. SWOG S0809, a phase II study showed that adjuvant chemoradiotherapy has promising efficacy in GBCA or EHCC. The present phase III clinical trial is designed to compare adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy with chemotherapy alone.
