Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Exosomes are part of extracellular vesicles(EVs), and can be secreted into the environment by many types of cells. It has been demonstrated that the content and function of exosomes depends on the originating cell and the conditions under which they are produced.Exosomes contain proteins,RNAs and lipid,which may transfer biological information and activities from donor cells to receptor cells. Non-coding RNAs are involved in many biological activities including tumor growth and metastasis.

In this prospective translational study, preclinical and clinical phases have been designed. On the first step, the main goal is to characterize the ncRNAs of cholangiocarcinoma derived exosomes. This exosome biomarker may provide a useful diagnostic tool. As a second step, the study will evaluate the prognostic and predictive value of cholangiocarcinoma exosomes levels in plasma in a prospectively recruited cohort of cholangiocarcinoma patients before and after surgical resection.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* 1.Provide signed informed consent.

2.Men or women aged \>= 18 years. 3.Histology- or imaging-confirmed bile duct stricture. 4.Metastatic disease or locally advanced disease not amenable to curative surgery.

5.Radiographically assessable, non-measurable disease or measurable disease as per RECIST criteria.

6.Life expectancy of at least 8 weeks from the time of enrollment. 7.No other malignancy within the past 5 years. 8.No prior chemotherapy for advanced disease.

Exclusion Criteria

\- 1.Pregnant or lactating females. 2.Significant neurological or psychiatric disorders (psychotic disorders, dementia or seizures) that would prohibit the understanding and giving of informed consent.

3.Active Hepatitis B or C or history of an HIV infection. 4.Active uncontrolled infection.
