The preoperative elevated plasma fibrinogen level is associated with the prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma

Elevated fibrinogen (Fbg) levels contribute to tumor progression and metastasis. However, little is known regarding the association of the clinicopathological characteristics and the prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) with plasma fibrinogen. Data on the plasma Fbg levels, clinicopathological characteristics, and overall survival were retrospectively collected. Plasma fibrinogen concentrations over 4.0 g/L were classified as...
