Answer

If you mean hilar cholangiocarcinoma the only answer can be YES. The reported 5-year survival rates after LTx for hilar bile duct cancer (even if considered classically unresectable) are much higher than those obtained with R0-resection in resectable disease. For me the real question is which group of the resectable population will be better to treat with transplantation.
