Five-Year Follow-Up of the Phase III ASCOT Trial of Adjuvant S-1 After Resection for Biliary Tract Cancer

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of adjuvant S-1 in improving overall survival (OS) in patients with resected biliary tract cancer (BTC) compared to observation alone. The 5-year follow-up results from the ASCOT trial demonstrated that S-1 significantly improved OS (64% vs. 52%) and median OS (8.2 years vs. 5.9 years), confirming its sustained survival benefit and supporting its use as a standard treatment for resected BTC.
