Recommended Minimal Number of Harvested Lymph Nodes for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Lymph node (LN) metastasis is one factor indicating a poor prognosis after radical surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Although several guidelines have recommended that LN dissection be strongly considered at the time of ICC surgery, no clear evidence regarding the appropriate number of harvested LNs has been established. Thus, we aimed to identify the minimum number of harvested LNs required for ICC by using a Bayesian Weibull...
