The goal of this observational study is to compare chemotherapy types that are given after surgery for biliary tract cancers. The main question it aims to answer is: Are any of the chemotherapy regimens more effective in preventing recurrence, providing longer survival, or having less toxicity? Nationwide multicenter retrospective data will be collected.
