In this report, we suggest a probable treatment with microwave tissue coagulation (MTC) aimed at curing jaundice and early-stage bile duct carcinoma in elderly patients.
Here we report cases of 2 jaundice patients with bile duct carcinoma in the far advanced stage of progression, who survived for more than 4 years after percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) and radiography-guided MTC.
Long-term survival of over 10 years was achieved in jaundice patients with unresectable bile duct carcinoma and poor health after performing PTCS and radiography-guided MTC.
MTC may be an alternative palliative treatment for jaundice patients in the far advanced stage of progression and may afford survival of over 4 years.
