Predictors and prognostic impact of textbook outcome in patients with biliary tract cancer after hepatectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

This study demonstrated that achieving TO significantly improves OS in BTC and identifies thirteen predictive factors encompassing patient characteristic, biochemical markers, treatment parameter, and pathologic features. These findings may facilitate early identification of high-risk surgical candidates and support the preoperative optimization of modifiable factors to enhance the likelihood of achieving TO and improve patient prognosis.
