As per clinicaltrials.gov and clinicaltrialsregister.eu on July 5 2021. High risk LN features include tumor > 5 cm, vascular invasion, multiple tumor nodules, and hilar lymph node metastases. CCA: Cholangiocarcinoma;
GBC: gallbladder carcinoma; iCCA: intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; pCCA: perihilar cholangiocarcinoma; OS: overall survival; CRT: chemoradiotherapy; EBRT: external-beam radiotherapy; mFOLFOXIRI: fluorouracil
+ oxaliplatin + irinotecan; ORR: overall response rate; LN: lymph node.

strategy was negative. Significant clinical and genetic heterogenicity exists between tumors of the biliary tract [15,24] . The results of PRODIGE 12-ACCORD 18

may reflect this heterogenicity across biliary tract cancer subsites with differing benefits to systemic therapies not appreciated in the subgroup analysis of this
smaller trial.

BILCAP, while not achieving its primary outcome in the intention-to-treat population, did demonstrate an improved OS effect size of 14.7 months and
statistically significantly improved survival in the per-protocol analysis. Like BCAT, treatment compliance was a challenge, with only 55% of patients

completing the proposed eight cycles and 46% requiring at least one dose reduction. This completion rate is significantly lower than that observed in adjuvant
