Transarterial Chemoembolization Following Curative Resection May Not Improve Survival for Hepatitis B Virus Associated Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: Propensity Score Weighting Analysis
These findings suggest that adjuvant TACE following radical surgery does not prolong OS for patients with HBV-associated ICC. Furthermore, adjuvant TACE was associated with increased recurrence risk in TNM Stage III and IV subgroups, though this observation requires further validation due to sample size limitations in advanced stages.
