Abstract

Purpose: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is a rare malignancy requiring resection of extrahepatic bile ducts with or without hepatectomy. Prognostic models for post-operative outcomes in pCCA are unusable in pre-operative decision-making as most are based on post-operative variables. Additionally, no pre-operative models include futile laparotomy or benign hilar stenosis (BHS) as possible outcomes. We investigated pre-operative predictive factors for non-resectability, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS), in patients referred for resection of suspected pCCA.

Methods: Patients with suspected pCCA evaluated at multidisciplinary team (MDT) conference and referred for curative resection at Rigshospitalet, from 2013-2023. Outcomes were preoperative factors related to OS, DFS and non-resectability.

Results: Ninety-three patients with suspected pCCA were considered resectable at MDT, of which 84 (90.3 %) were confirmed pCCA. Nineteen (20.4 %) with pCCA were non-resectable. Patients with non-resectable pCCA had higher pre-operative p-bilirubin and ECOG-performance status (ECOG-PS) compared to resected pCCA and BHS (p=0.02 and 0.01). Portal vein embolization (PVE), higher ECOG-PS and elevated p-bilirubin were associated with worse OS in patients with pCCA undergoing surgical exploration [(HR 2.45 (95% CI 1.32-4.56), p=0.004), (HR 2.32 (95% CI 1.30-4.09), p=0.004) and (HR 2.03 (95% CI 1.17-3.51), p=0.01), respectively]. PVE and larger tumor size were associated with poorer DFS [HR 3.29 (95 % CI 1.64- 6.60), p=0.001) and (HR 1.02 (95% CI 1.00-1.04), p=0.003) respectively].

Conclusion: Poor ECOG-PS, PVE, elevated p-bilirubin and larger tumor size were associated with adverse survival in patients with pCCA undergoing surgical exploration. Non-resectable pCCA were associated with higher rates of elevated p-bilirubin and larger tumor size.

期刊介绍： Langenbeck''s Archives of Surgery aims to publish the best results in the field of clinical surgery and basic surgical research. The main focus is on providing the highest level of clinical research and clinically relevant basic research. The journal, published exclusively in English, will provide an international discussion forum for the controlled results of clinical surgery. The majority of published contributions will be original articles reporting on clinical data from general and visceral surgery, while endocrine surgery will also be covered. Papers on basic surgical principles from the fields of traumatology, vascular and thoracic surgery are also welcome. Evidence-based medicine is an important criterion for the acceptance of papers.
