Abstract

A 52 year old female with inoperable cholagiocarcinoma is presented. She was treated with two different chemotherapy regimens and a total of four stents (one stent in the common bile duct and three gastroduodenal stents). The cancer slowly progressed, but more than three years after inoperability was confirmed, she is still alive. Even if the clinical situation seems difficult, some patients live much longer than expected.
