Prognostic impact of lymph node and surgical margin in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma
In patients with curatively resected for PHCC, R1 resection margin does not influence OS in patients with LN metastasis even when radical resection was achieved. Consequently, the risk of highly invasive procedures aimed at achieving R0 margins should be judiciously weighed against potential morbidity risk in patients with LN metastasis, as aggressive surgical strategies may not translate to survival benefits.
