Abstract

120.8] months, p=0.077). Overall survival was significantly longer in the Lymph node dissection group (No dissection vs. Lymph node dissection: 44.0 [31.1e56.9] months vs. 90.0 [51.1e158.9] months, p=0.027). Conclusion: Radical surgery including an adequate lymph node dissection area and suitable harvested lymph nodes appears to improve oncologic outcomes for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
