LI-RADS Category Can Be a Post-Surgical Prognostic Factor for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis or Chronic Hepatitis B.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) categorization has been proposed as a potential prognostic indicator for primary liver neoplasms in patients with liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B. This multicenter study aimed to determine whether LI-RADS categorization can offer additional post-surgical prognostic value for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA) when used in conjunction with the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) guidelines.

Methods

Patients with high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma, surgically confirmed ICCAs, and available preoperative MRI were enrolled. LI-RADS categorization of ICCAs was performed using MRI features, and multivariate analyses were conducted incorporating LI-RADS category, AJCC staging, and clinicopatholog
