| Abstract |
To investigate prognostic factors in unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) therapy-naïve patients after yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization (RE) therapy. Between 2005 and 2016, 21 patients with ICC were treated with Y-90 RE only and their survival data were analyzed. Patients were stratified and response was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. The overall median survival was 15 months. Survival was significantly (p = 0.009) prolonged in patients with tumor burden of ≤ 25% (n = 8, OS 37.5 months) versus those with a tumor burden of 25-50% (n = 13, OS 15 months). The other variables: tumor morphology (infiltrative vs. peripheral), tumor distribution (solitary vs. multifocal), lobes involved (unilobar vs. bilobar), FDG PET status (FDG avid vs. non-avid), RE treatment sessions (1 session vs. 2 sessions), metastases (metastasis vs. no metastasis) and RECIST criteria, had no significant impact on survival. Tumor burden represents a key prognostic factor of survival in therapy-naïve patients with unresectable ICC treated with Y-90 RE therapy only. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 July 2022.
All research outputs
#5,652,339
of 22,818,766 outputs
Outputs from CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology
#357
of 2,359 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#114,102
of 440,691 outputs
Outputs of similar age from CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology
#13
of 54 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,818,766 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,359 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,691 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 54 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
