Is there a standard initial treatment for stage IV Cholangiocarcinoma? 

Gemcitabine Cisplatin is currently the standard of care . Its also important to get NGS testing performed. – learn more about Cholangiocarcinoma here

Should I get NGS testing if i have a liver cancer?

The short answer is yes. The role of many of the more effective precision cancer medicines is determined by NGS testing in liver cancer. Less common cancers like cholangiocarcinoma can also be more effectively treated if a biomarker can be defined that has an available precision medicine.
