| Research Abstract |
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) arising from the intrahepatic bile duct is the second most frequent hepatic malignancy. Lymph node metastasis is known to be one of strong prognostic factors for survival in the patients undergoing curative resection for ICC. Therefore, the value of lymph node dissection during surgical treatment for ICC or indication of the resection for the patients who are preoperatively diagnosed to have metastatic lymph nodes is still in debate.
In this study, we evaluated correlation between intrahepatic lymph vessel invasion and lymph node metastasis. We also investigated the outcomes of ICC patients following curative resection to analyze the influences of lymph node dissection on survival and recurrence.
