Recurrence after resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains common. The present study sought to evaluate risk factors for recurrence and the results of repeat liver resection (RLR) for recurrent ICC.
Between 1997 and 2012, clinical data and outcomes of 125 consecutive patients undergoing liver resection for ICC were retrospectively analyzed.
The rate of R0 resection was 89% (n = 110). Overall median survival was 35 months, and 1-, 3-, and 5-year actuarial survival rates were 80%, 48%, and 28%, respectively. Recurrence occurred in 76 patients (63.5%) and was intrahepatic only for 39 patients (51%). Tumor size greater than 5 cm was identified as an independent risk factor for recurrence (P ≤ .0001). RLR for recurrent ICC was feasible in 10 patients (25%) with a median survival after recurrence of 25 months (16 to 76).
Tumor size more than 5 cm represents an independent risk factor for recurrence after resection of ICC. RLR in case of recurrent ICC, when feasible, is associated with longer overall survival.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 04 October 2015.
All research outputs
#31,228,668
of 34,410,798 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Surgery
#7,000
of 7,400 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#276,717
of 314,010 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Surgery
#56
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,410,798 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,400 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 314,010 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
