This study explores the potential value of a new blood test approach to detect measurable residual disease or early recurrence/progression in patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the association of PUMA levels from peripheral blood with disease progression (radiographically or clinically) in patients that are candidates for curative surgical intervention of cholangiocarcinoma. Ia. Pre- and post-neoadjuvant-treatment PUMA levels will be associated with treatment response to neoadjuvant therapy (short term progression). Ib. Pre-surgical and post-surgical PUMA levels will be associated with progression free survival. II. To estimate the association of PUMA levels from peripheral blood with postoperative survival in patients treated for cholangiocarcinoma. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients undergo collection of blood samples and have their medical records reviewed on study. Patients also undergo collection of archived tissue samples on study.

Associate of PUMA levels with short term progression
Proteins, mUtations, Methylated DNA, and Aneuploidy (PUMA) markers will be assessed pre- and post-treatment and will be associated with treatment response to therapy (short term progression; time to cholangiocarcinoma recurrence).
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Associate of PUMA levels with progression free survival
Pre-surgical and post-surgical PUMA levels will be associated with progression free survival (time to death from cholangiocarcinoma).
Time frame: Up to 5 years
