Correlation between preoperative bile duct dilatation evaluation and prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between the prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and the degree of bile duct dilatation in MRCP .Methods:The clinical data of 89 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma undergoing radical operation at Tianjin Nankai Hospital from Jan 2009 to Dec 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Tumor size ( P=0.024), Bismuth-Corlette classification ( P=0.048) and tumor stage ( P=0.013) were related factors of biliary dilatation. Tumor differentiation ( P=0.002), R 0 resection ( P=0.002) and biliary dilatation ( P<0.001) were independent predictors of disease-free survival (DFS). Conclusion:The imaging evaluation of the degree of biliary dilatation has a certain predictive value for the prognosis of patients with hilar cholangio-carcinoma.
