Brief Summary

The extent of intrahepatic infiltration of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) remains unclear. This research aimed to explore the pattern and extent of intrahepatic infiltration of PHCC to guide surgical treatment and pathological research. This prospective study included 62 participants diagnosed with PHCC who underwent major hepatectomy. A whole-mount digital liver pathology system (WDLPS) for hepatectomy specimens greater than 10 × 10 cm was used to panoramically assess the intrahepatic infiltration extent of PHCC.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Relapse-free survival (RFS).

    Refers to the survival time of a PHCC patient without recurrence of PHCC for a period of time after surgical treatment.

    RFS as of December 2023

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall survival (OS).

    OS as of December 2023

Study Arms (2)

No RLI vs RLI

No RLI: PHCC patients without RLI. RLI: PHCC patients with RLI.

No DIHI vs DIHI

No DIHI: PHCC patients without DIHI. DIHI: PHCC patients with DIHI.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients were diagnosed for PHCC based on clinical manifestations, imaging, and pathological findings. All patients underwent hemihepatectomy or trisectionectomy combined with caudate lobectomy. Skeletonization resection of the hepatoduodenal ligament, including dissection of the regional lymph nodes, was performed from the duodenum to the liver. Clinical and pathological indicators of the patients were collected. Portal vein and hepatic artery invasion were defined as the primary or secondary branch in the resected side or the reserved side which was invaded.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients were diagnosed for PHCC based on clinical manifestations, imaging, and pathological findings.
  • Hepatectomy was performed.
  • WDLPS was successfully produced.

You may not qualify if:

  • Not PHCC patients.
  • Patients with PHCC did not undergo hepatectomy.
  • WDLPS was not successfully produced.
