Classification of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hot topics in surgical treatment

doi:10.16139/j.1007-9610.2022.05.019

Abstract

Abstract:

The classification of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is based on macroscopic pattern, pathological features, clinical manifestation and molecular type. Surgical resection is still the preferred treatment for ICC. Hot topics in surgical treatment include hepatic resection procedure, distance of resection margin, lymph node dissection, laparoscopic operation, liver transplantation, reoperation after recurrence, neoadjuvant therapy and conversion therapy. The classification of ICC and hot topics in surgical treatment were focused in this review.

Key words: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, Surgical treatment, Neoadjuvant therapy, Conversion therapy
