Satellite lesions versus intrahepatic metastasis in multifocal intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Prognostic impact and genomic profiling
PRODUCTS USED
ABSTRACT
Multifocal intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is typically categorized as satellite lesions (SL) or intrahepatic metastasis (IM). Clinical staging and prognostic significance of multifocal ICC are a topic of debate.ICC patients with solitary or multifocal tumors undergoing curative-intent surgical resection were identified from an international multi-institutional database. SL and IM were classified according to distribution patterns. Among 1,064 patients included in the cohort, 358 had multifocal tumors that were defined as IM (n=95) or SL (n=263). Isolated AJCC Stage II of multifocal ICC disease was associated with shorter overall (OS)(median: 26.1 vs. 60.0 mo, p
