title: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, the need for a new staging system.
abstract: DeOliveira et al. have recently proposed a new staging system for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma that aims at standardizing reports on this disease. Such a tool is currently needed not only to allow comparisons of studies among centres but also over time. Data integration could in turn provide relevant information regarding resectability and prognosis of this rare cancer.
