Body composition is associated with postoperative complications in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is a malignant tumor of the hepatobiliary system which is still associated with a challenging prognosis. Postoperative complications play a crucial role in determining the overall prognosis of patients with pCCA. Changes in body composition (BC) have been shown to impact the prognosis of various types of tumors. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the correlation between BC, postoperative complications and oncological outcome in patients with pCCA.

Methods

All patients with pCCA who underwent curative-intent surgery for pCCA between 2010 and 2022 were included in this analysis. BC was assessed using preoperative computed tomography and analyzed with the assistance of a 3D Slicer software. Univariate and multivariate binary
