Official Title: Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Study Evaluating SIR-Spheres Y-90 Resin Microspheres Preceding Cisplatin-gemcitabine (CIS-GEM) Chemotherapy Versus CIS-GEM Chemotherapy Alone as First-

Brief Summary: The study will evaluate the benefit of applying Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) using SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres prior to receiving systemic chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin-gemcitabine, or CIS-GEM) in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
