title: [Combined intraductal and percutaneous radiotherapy of malignant bile duct obstruction with subsequent prosthetic management].
abstract: Radiotherapy of the inoperable malignant bile duct obstruction is performed to prolong the survival time in comparison to the palliative drainage. The preferable method is a combination of intracavitary irradiation via a percutaneous transhepatic drainage (30-40 Gy at a distance of 1 cm) and a moving field technique (30-40 Gy). This combination allows a high local tumor dose and a relatively large treatment volume. After radiotherapy, the PTD is being exchanged by a large-bore biliodigestive prosthesis.
