What piques your clinical suspicion for biliary structure? And when is interventional endoscopy the preferred approach? Fine tune your diagnostic and treatment algorithm with Dr. Premal Trivedi from the University of Colorado and host Dr. Christopher Beck as they go in-depth on the management of biliary strictures.---This podcast is supported by:RADPAD® Radiation Protectionhttps://www.radpad.com/---SYNPOSISThe doctors first break down the signs and clinical picture that alert them to a possible biliary stricture. Dr. Trivedi then explains the steps of his workup and preferred imaging, and also describes his threshold to pursue percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), especially in diffuse conditions like primary sclerosing cholangitis. Dr. Trivedi also walks through his procedural steps for PTC and drain placement, covering his best practices and typical intraoperative decision making.Dr. Trivedi then explains the role of angioplasty over the course of longitudinal treatment, balloon choice, and his upper limit of catheter upsizing.

In today's episode, we had the opportunity to speak with Arndt Vogel, MD, about the European Commission's (EC's) July 2025 marketing authorization of zanidatamab-hrii (Ziihera) for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive biliary tract cancer. Dr Vogel is a faculty member at the University of Toronto Institute of Medical Science, a scientist at the Toronto General Hospital Research Institute, and a medical oncologist at the UHN–Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Canada. In our exclusive interview, Dr Vogel highlighted the clinical importance of this decision, emphasizing that it represents a significant advancement for a molecularly defined subgroup of patients with limited treatment options and historically poor outcomes. He explained that biliary tract cancers, including cholangiocarcinoma, are associated with high recurrence rates and poor survival, even in patients who undergo curative-intent surgery. For patients in the advanced setting, second-line chemotherapy offers modest clinical benefit, with objective response rates of approximately 6%, a median progression-free survival of approximately 3 months, and a median overall survival of approximately 12 months. Vogel discussed the data supporting the EC's approval, which was based on findings from the phase 2b HERIZON-BTC-01 trial (NCT04466891)—the largest study conducted to date evaluating HER2-directed therapy in this patient population. In the trial, at a median follow-up of 21.9 months, patients with centrally confirmed HER2-positive tumors (n = 80) who received zanidatamab achieved a confirmed objective response rate (cORR) of 41.3% (95% CI, 30.4-52.8). The median duration of response was 14.9 months (95% CI, 7.4-not reached), and the median overall survival reached 15.5 months (95% CI, 10.4-18.5).

Biliary tract cancers are a group of rare cancers with limited treatment options and generally poor outcomes because most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. There are efforts to address that through the development of early detection tools. And the use of biomarker testing can today match as many as half of these patients to a targeted therapy, although it's critical to make people aware of the importance of this. We spoke to Rachna Shroff, associate director of clinical investigations of the gastrointestinal clinical research team at the University of Arizona Cancer Center, about biliary tract cancers, the importance of biomarker testing, and what can be done to improve outcomes for people with these rare cancers.
Welcome to another episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast! In this episode, Drs.
