The Impact of a History of Different Other Cancers on the Long-Term Outcomes of Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Population-Based Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The characteristics and outcomes of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with prior malignancy are poorly clarified. This study is aimed at exploring the impact of prior malignancy on the long-term outcomes of ICC patients.

Methods

Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, ICC patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2018 were identified. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox analysis were used to evaluate the impact of prior malignancy on the prognosis of ICC patients.

Results

A total of 9667 ICC patients were identified; among them, 782 (8.09%) had a history of prior cancer. Prostate, breast, colorectal, bladder, and liver/gallbladder/other biliary cancers were the most common types of prior cancer. Patients with prior cancer h
