Core Tip

Core Tip: The first-line standard treatment for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma has been programmed cell death ligand 1 antibody combined with gemcitabine + cisplatin therapy, but the median overall survival time still could not break 1 year. However, this patient achieved clinical complete remission after second-line treatment with paclitaxel combined with programmed death 1 antibody and has survived for more than 32 mo. And we performed genetic testing of tissue specimens and found that this patient was without known predictive biomarkers related to immunotherapy efficacy but with BRCA1, KRAS and NTRK3 mutation, and whether there is a therapeutic efficacy correlation deserves further exploration.
