Abstract Text • This ESMO Clinical Practice Guideline update addresses new developments in the management of biliary tract cancer. • Recommendations are given for first-line treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. • Key recommendations are also provided for second-line treatment with targeted therapies. • The update also covers the latest developments in molecular testing and intra-arterial therapies. • A management algorithm for early-stage, locally advanced and advanced/metastatic disease is provided.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
