The green tea catechin epigallocatechin gallate induces cell cycle arrest and shows potential synergism with cisplatin in biliary tract cancer cells
Christian Mayr,Andrej Wagner,Daniel Neureiter,Martin Pichler,Martin Jakab,Romana Illig,Frieder Berr,Tobias Kiesslich +7 more
TL;DR: EGCG shows various anti-cancer effects inBTC cell lines and might therefore be a potential anticancer drug for future studies in BTC, and displays a synergistic cytotoxic effect with cisplatin in most tested BTC cell lines.
Temoporfin improves efficacy of photodynamic therapy in advanced biliary tract carcinoma: A multicenter prospective phase II study
Andrej Wagner,Ulrike W. Denzer,Daniel Neureiter,Tobias Kiesslich,Andreas Puespoeck,Erik A.J. Rauws,Klaus Emmanuel,Nora Degenhardt,Ulrich Frick,Ulrich Beuers,Ansgar W. Lohse,Frieder Berr,Gernot W. Wolkersdörfer +12 more
TL;DR: Temoporfin‐PDT can safely be delivered to hilar bile duct cancer patients and results in prolonged patency of hilar biles ducts, a trend for longer survival time, and similar palliation as with P‐PDt.

The BMI1 inhibitor PTC-209 is a potential compound to halt cellular growth in biliary tract cancer cells
Christian Mayr,Andrej Wagner,Magdalena Loeffelberger,Daniela Bruckner,Martin Jakab,Frieder Berr,Pietro Di Fazio,Matthias Ocker,Matthias Ocker,Matthias Ocker,Daniel Neureiter,Martin Pichler,Tobias Kiesslich +12 more
TL;DR: PTC-209 might be a promising drug for future in vitro and in vivo studies in BTC, as it caused significant down-regulation of cell cycle-promoting genes as well as of genes that contribute to DNA synthesis initiation and DNA repair, respectively.
Untutored learning curve to establish endoscopic submucosal dissection on competence level.
TL;DR: Untutored learning of ESD is feasible on colonic lesions and it is proposed to establish ESD in Europe with structured training and a prevalence-of-lesions-based approach.

Neoadjuvant Down-Sizing of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma with Photodynamic Therapy—Long-Term Outcome of a Phase II Pilot Study
Andrej Wagner,Marcus W. Wiedmann,Andrea Tannapfel,Christian Mayr,Tobias Kiesslich,Gernot W. Wolkersdörfer,Frieder Berr,Johann Hauss,Helmut Witzigmann +8 more
TL;DR: The results are comparable with published data for patients resected R0 without pre-treatment, indicating that neoadjuvant PDT is feasible and could improve overall survival of patients considered non-curatively resectable because of initial tumor extension in bile duct branches/segments, however, this concept needs to be validated in a larger trial.
