AIM To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on clinical outcomes of photodynamic therapy(PDT) in non-resectable cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS Included studies compared outcomes with photodynamic therapy and biliary stenting(PDT group) vs biliary stenting only(BS group) in palliation of non-resectable cholangiocarcinoma. Articles were searched in MEDLINE, PubM ed, and EMBASE. Pooled proportions were calculated using fixed and random effects model. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed using the I2 statistic.RESULTS Ten studies(n = 402) that met inclusion criteria were included in this analysis. The P for χ2 heterogeneity for all the pooled accuracy estimates was > 0.10. Pooled odds ratio for successful biliary drainage(decrease in bilirubin level > 50% within 7days after stenting)in PDT vs BS group was 4.39(95%CI: 2.35-8.19).Survival period in PDT and BS groups were 413.04d(95%CI: 349.54-476.54) and 183.41(95%CI:136.81-230.02) respectively. The change in Karnofsky performance scores after intervention in PDT and BS groups were +6.99(95%CI: 4.15-9.82) and-3.93(95%CI:-8.63-0.77) respectively. Odds ratio for postintervention cholangitis in PDT vs BS group was 0.57(95%CI: 0.35-0.94). In PDT group, 10.51%(95%CI:6.94-14.72) had photosensitivity reactions that were self-limiting. Subgroup analysis of prospective studies showed similar results, except the incidence of cholangitis was comparable in both groups. CONCLUSION In palliation of unresectable cholangiocarcinoma, PDT seems to be significantly superior to BS alone. PDT should be used as an adjunct to biliary stenting in these patients.
