Survival after surgery among patients with cholangiocarcinoma in Northeast Thailand according to anatomical and morphological classification.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has been categorized based on tumor location as intrahepatic (ICCA), perihilar (PCCA) or distal (DCCA), and based on the morphology of the tumor of the bile duct as mass forming (MF), periductal infiltrating (PI) or intraductal (ID). To date, there is limited evidence available regarding the survival of CCA among these different anatomical and morphological classifications. This study aimed to evaluate the survival rate and median survival time after curative surgery among CCA patients according to their anatomical and morphological classifications, and to determine the association between these classifications and survival.

Methods

This study included CCA patients who underwent curative surgery from the Cholangiocarcinoma Screening and Ca
