    Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is often diagnosed late, limiting curative surgical options and resulting in poor outcomes.

  • 2

    A pan-European survey involving 51 clinicians from 47 centers aimed to identify challenges in the clinical staging of pCCA.

  • 3

    Multidisciplinary team conferences for pCCA assessment were available at 94% of participating centers, with varying levels of specialist availability.

  • 4

    Evaluation for transplantation eligibility for unresectable pCCA was offered at 53% of centers, with significant differences based on centralization.

  • 5

    Most centers recommended multiphase CT and MRI for surgical candidate assessment, while PET-CT was used by only one-third of centers.
