Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (also variously reported as peripheral cholangiocarcinoma, cholangiolar carcinoma or cholangiocellular carcinoma) (ICC). Confirmation of the diagnosis must be made at MSKCC or at the participating institution prior to initiating protocol therapy.
- Technically resectable, single tumors of any size, tumors with satellite nodules within 2 cm of the primary tumor that are resectable. Limited and resectable multi-focal disease (less than 4 tumors technically resectable).
- Patients with elevated liver function tests including jaundiced patients (due to tumor) can be selectively operated on without resolution of jaundice preoperatively according to the judgment of the operating surgeon
- Patients must have a KPS > 80% and be considered candidates for general anesthesia, hepatic resection and hepatic artery pump placement.
- Laboratory values within 14 days before registration must be:
- Serum albumin must be >2.5 g/dl
- Creatinine must be < 1.8 mg/dL
- WBC must be >3500 cells/mm3
- Platelet count must be >100,000/mm3
- International normalized ratio (INR) must be less than 1.5 in patients not on Coumadin therapy
- Technically resectable, single tumors of any size, tumors with satellite nodules within 2 cm of the primary tumor that are resectable. Limited and resectable multi- focal disease (less than 4 tumors technically resectable).
- Patients with elevated liver function tests including jaundiced patients (due to tumor) can be selectively operated on without resolution of jaundice preoperatively according to the judgment of the operating surgeon
- Age >18 years
- Patients must be able to understand and sign informed consent
- Prior chemotherapy is allowed
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior treatment with HAI chemotherapy
- Extrahepatic metastases including nodal disease
- Prior external beam radiation therapy to the liver
- Diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis
- Diagnosis of Gilbert's disease
- Clinical ascites
- Hepatic encephalopathy
- Patients who have radiographic evidence of esophageal varices or history of variceal hemorrhage
- Patients with occlusion of the main portal vein or of the right and left portal branches
- Patients that have concurrent malignancies (except localized basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers)
- Female patients who are pregnant or lactating

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
HAI with FLOXURIDINE & DEXAMETHASONE & GEMCITABINE
This is an open-label single arm study. multi-institution phase I dose escalating trial of adjuvant HAIP FUDR and Gemcitabine chemotherapy after curative resection of ICC. Hepatectomy with or without bile duct reconstruction and pump placement are performed. The patients will start therapy 4 weeks postoperatively. They will receive HAI FUDR/Dex and systemic gemcitabine in the following dose escalation levels of gemcitabine. The dose of HAI FUDR will be fixed. A classic 3+3 cohort dose escalation scheme will be used to identify the MTD of the combination. Level 1: Systemic gemcitabine 650mg/m^2 Day 1 and 15 and HAI FUDR/Dex 0.12mg/kg/day Day 1-14 Level 2.Systemic gemcitabine 800mg/m^2 Day 1 and 15 HAI FUDR/Dex 0.12 mg/kg/day Day 1-14 Level 3. Systemic gemcitabine 1000mg/m^2 Day 1 and 15 HAI FUDR/Dex 0.12 mg/kg/day Day 1-14
