Probability of Lymph Node Metastases in Patients Undergoing Adequate Lymphadenectomy during Surgery for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Retrospective Multicenter Study
A novel model that combines preoperative CA 19-9, clinically suspicious lymph nodes at radiology, patients' age, and tumor burden score was developed to predict the risk of LNM before surgery. The model exhibited high accuracy and has the potential to assist clinicians in the management of patients who are candidate to surgery.
