Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Reported incidence of extrahepatic bile duct cancer is higher in Asians than in Western populations. Korea, in particular, is one of the countries with the highest incidence rates of extrahepatic bile duct cancer in the world. Although research and innovative therapeutic modalities for extrahepatic bile duct cancer are emerging, clinical guidelines are currently unavailable in Korea. The Korean Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery in collaboration with related societies (Korean Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery Society, Korean Society of Abdominal Radiology, Korean Society of Medical Oncology, Korean Society of Radiation Oncology, Korean Society of Pathologists, and Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine) decided to establish clinical guideline for extrahepatic bile duct cancer in June 2021. Methods Contents of the guidelines were developed through subgroup meetings for each key question and a preliminary draft was finalized through a Clinical Guidelines Committee workshop. Results In November 2021, the finalized draft was presented for public scrutiny during a formal hearing. Conclusions The extrahepatic guideline committee believed that this guideline could be helpful in the treatment of patients.

Radiographic features predictive of recurrence and survival after surgical resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28805. [PMID: 38617950 PMCID: PMC11015104 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To study which radiographic features were associated with recurrence and adverse outcome in patients undergoing surgical resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PCCA), as well as to evaluate the imaging patterns that signify recurrence after the resection of PCCA. Materials and methods This study was conducted in a solitary tertiary center and utilized a retrospective, analytical, case-control design. The study population consisted of patients with pathologically confirmed PCCA who underwent surgical resection and were subsequently followed up from January 2009 to December 2017. A total of 77 patients were enrolled in the study and were categorized into two distinct groups, namely recurrent and non-recurrent. The analysis encompassed the examination of demographic data and recurrence patterns. Additionally, survival and multivariate analyses were employed to assess radiographic imaging data and surgical information. Results Seventy-seven patients diagnosed with PCCA based on pathological evidence were included in the study. Among the participants, there were 28 females and 49 males, with ages ranging from 41 to 81 years (mean age of 60.65 ± 7.66). A noteworthy finding was the recurrence rate of 65 % observed following surgical resection. The presence of regional lymph node (LN) metastasis, adjacent organ invasion, and surgical margin emerged as the three independent factors that exhibited a significant association with recurrence after post-operative resection (p = 0.023, p = 0.028, and p = 0.010, respectively). The patients with PCCA who experienced regional LN metastasis had a median overall survival (OS) of 22 months, which was significantly lower than the 46 months observed in those without regional LN metastasis (p < 0.018). Furthermore, the individuals with regional LN metastasis had a death rate that was 2.08 times higher than those without (p = 0.040). In addition, those with adjacent organ invasion had an OS duration of 21 months compared with 52 months in those without (p = 0.008), and the rate of death was 2.39 times higher (p = 0.018). Patients with an R1 resection margin had an OS duration of 36 months compared with 51.56 months in those with an R0 resection margin (p = 0.006), as well as a 2.13 times higher rate of recurrence (p = 0.010) and a 2.43 times higher mortality rate (p = 0.013). Conclusion The presence of regional LN metastasis, invasion of adjacent organs, and R1 resection margin were identified as distinct factors that are linked to both disease recurrence and reduced OS. Local recurrence, as well as the spread of cancer to distant organs such as the lungs and liver, were frequently observed patterns of recurrence. To enhance the precision of staging, prognosis, and treatment, the inclusion of periductal fat or invasion of adjacent organs should be considered in the staging system for PCCA.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a primary malignancy which is often diagnosed when it is advanced and inoperable due to the lack of effective biomarkers and poor sensitivity of clinical diagnosis. Molecular profiling may provide information for improved clinical management, particularly targeted therapy. The study aimed to improve the understanding of molecular characteristics and its association with prognosis in Chinese CCA. We enrolled 41 Chinese patients with CCA, including 6 intrahepatic CCA (iCCA), 14 perihilar CCA (pCCA), and 21 distal CCA (dCCA) cases, all patients underwent radical operations and tumor samples underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS) by Foundation One Dx, which analyzed 324 genes. The patients' genetic characteristics, clinical management, and prognosis were analyzed. The most mutated genes were TP53 (68%, 28/41), CDKN2A (37%, 15/41), and SMAD4 (29%, 12/41). The genetic mutations in dCCA, pCCA, and iCCA were significantly different. For example, NOTCH3 mutations were not found in dCCA. The gene mutations of AXL were specifically associated with lymph node metastasis in patients with CCA, whereas gene mutations of SMAD4 were specifically associated with lymphovascular invasion. Furthermore, mutations in APC, DAXX, FANCA, LTK, MAP2K4, and NOTCH1 were associated with a poor prognosis (P < 0.05). This study provides an overview of genetic alterations in Chinese patients with CCA, which will provide novel potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of CCA and may guide targeted therapeutic strategies for Chinese patients with CCA.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the association of inflammatory biomarkers with resectability and overall survival in hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study over 72 consecutive surgical cases of Klatskin tumor over an 11-year period. The sample was divided into two groups: 42 surgical resection cases and 30 unresectable tumors. Values of inflammatory ratios were compared according to the resectability. Log-rank test, univariate, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the overall survival. Results: Subjects were between 42−87 years old (average age of 64.91 ± 9.15 years). According to the procedure: 58.33% benefited from resection (with a 30.95% R0 resection rate) and 41.66% had palliative surgery. Elevated NLR (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio), PLR (platelet to lymphocyte ratio), and SII (systemic immune-inflammation index), and lower LMR (lymphocyte to monocyte ratio) at admission were associated with unresectable tumors (p < 0.01). For the multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, increased absolute values of NLR, PLR, and SII were associated with lower survival; no differences were observed for LMR absolute value. The cut-off value of NLR ≥ 6 was associated with lower survival. The median survival time for all subjects was 442 days, with 774 days for the resection group and 147 days for the group with palliative surgery. Conclusions: In hilar cholangiocarcinoma, inflammatory ratios are associated with tumor resectability. Tumor excision conferred an important advantage in survival. Elevated NLR, PLR, and SII values at admission significantly increased the hazard ratio. LMR had no influence on survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical resection is the only indicator associated with survival in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC). However, limited data are available regarding the implications of dysplasia at the resection margin following surgery.
AIM To evaluate the prognostic significance of dysplasia-positive margins in patients diagnosed with EHCC.
METHODS We reviewed the records of patients who had undergone surgery for EHCC with curative intent between January 2013 and July 2017. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 116 patients followed for longer than 3 years. The status of resection margin was used to classify patients into negative low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD)/carcinoma in situ (CIS) categories.
RESULTS Based on postoperative status, 72 patients underwent resection with negative margins, 19 had LGD-positive margins, and 25 showed HGD/CIS-positive margins. The mean survival rates of the patients with negative margins, LGD margins, and HGD/CIS margins were 49.1 ± 4.5, 47.3 ± 6.0, and 20.8 ± 4.4 mo, respectively (P < 0.001). No difference in survival was found between groups with LGD margins and negative margins (P = 0.56). In the multivariate analysis, age > 70 years and HGD/CIS-positive margins were significant independent factors for survival (hazard ratio = 1.90 and 2.47, respectively).
CONCLUSION HGD/CIS margin in resected EHCC is associated with a poor survival. However, the LGD-positive resection margin is not a significant indicator of survival in patients with EHCC.

Abstract
We aimed to examine the predictive value of changes in perioperative carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels for patients operated for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA). A total of 322 patients who underwent curative resection for pCCA were divided into three groups: normal preoperative CA19-9 (CA19-9 ≤ 37 U/mL), normalization (preoperative CA19-9 > 37 U/mL, postoperative CA19-9 ≤ 37 U/mL), and non-normalization (pre- and postoperative CA19-9 > 37 U/mL) groups. The association of clinicopathological factors with overall survival (OS) was investigated. The non-normalization group (n = 82) demonstrated significantly worse OS than the normal CA19-9 (n = 114) and normalization (n = 126) groups (5-year OS, 16.9%, 29.4%, and 34.4%, respectively; both p ≤ 0.001). The cutoff points of 300 U/mL for preoperative (p = 0.001) and 37 U/mL for postoperative (p < 0.001) CA19-9 levels showed the strongest prognostic values. In the non-normalization group, patients who underwent R1 resection displayed significantly worse OS than those who underwent R0 resection (median OS, 10.2 vs. 15.7 months; p = 0.016). Multivariate analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio (HR), 2.07; p < 0.001), postoperative CA19-9 > 37 U/mL (HR, 1.94; p < 0.001), transfusion (HR, 1.74; p = 0.002), and T stage (T3,4) (HR, 1.67; p = 0.006) were related to worse OS. Persistent high CA19-9 level after resection of pCCA and R1 resection, especially in the non-normalization group, was associated with poor OS. A high postoperative CA19-9 level was an independent prognostic factor in resected pCCA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare malignant tumor of the biliary system. The heterogeneity of CCA leads to the lack of effective targeted treatment for CCA subtypes. The molecular characteristic of hilar CCA (hCCA) is still unclear. METHODS A total of 63 hCCA patients were enrolled from Shanghai Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissues, and matched blood were collected and deep sequencing targeting 450 cancer genes were performed. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) was measured by an algorithm developed in-house. Correlation analysis was performed by Fisher's exact test. RESULTS The most commonly mutated genes were TP53 (51.7%), NF1 and KRAS (20%, for both), SMAD4 (16.7%), FAT3 and FRS2 (13.3%, for both), NF1 (11.7%), and KMT2C, MDM2, and ATM (10%, for each) in hCCA. ARID1A, GATA6, and PREX2 mutations commonly occurred in female and KMT2C mutations mainly occurred in patients under 60 years old. Statistical analysis showed the association between ARID1A mutation and tumor stage (P = 0.041) and between NF1 mutation and high TMB (P = 0.0095). Furthermore, ARID1B mutation was identified to associate with the poor prognosis of Chinese hCCA patients (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION The mutational characterization of hCCA is different from both extrahepatic CCA and intrahepatic CCA. ARID1B is a potential biomarker for prognosis prediction of Chinese hCCA patients.

Impact of Remnant Carcinoma in Situ at the Ductal Stump on Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Distal Cholangiocarcinoma. World J Surg 2020; 45:291-301. [PMID: 32989580 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-020-05799-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of positive ductal margins with carcinoma in situ (R1-CIS) after resection is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of R1-CIS on survival in patients who underwent resection for distal cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS We enrolled 121 consecutive patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. Poor prognostic factors were investigated by multivariable analysis, and we performed a stratified analysis to evaluate the impact of R1-CIS on survival in patients with or without prognostic factors. RESULTS Multivariable analysis identified node-positive status as the prognostic factor (P = 0.003). Stratified by lymph node status, overall survival (OS) in the R0 group was significantly better than that in the R1-CIS group in node-negative patients (57.1% vs 30.0%; P < 0.050). Although OS was comparable between the two groups in node-positive patients (5-year OS: 22.2% vs 20.0%, respectively; P = not significant). Furthermore, OS in patients in whom R0 was achieved by additional resection was significantly better than that in patients with R1-CIS (5-year OS: 66.7% vs 30.0%, respectively; P < 0.050). CONCLUSIONS Remnant CIS is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with node-negative distal cholangiocarcinoma. Every effort should be made to achieve negative bile duct margins.

Prognostic Predictability of American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th Staging System for Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma: Limited Improvement Compared with the 7th Staging System. Cancer Res Treat 2020; 52:886-895.

Abstract
Purpose This study was conducted to evaluate the prognostic values of the 7th and 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging systems for patients with resected perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC). Materials and Methods A total of 348 patients who underwent major hepatectomy for PHCC between 2008 and 2015 were identified from a single center. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared across stage groups with the log-rank test. The concordance index was used to evaluate the prognostic predictability of the 8th AJCC staging system compared with that of the 7th. Results In the 8th edition, the stratification of each group of T classification improved compared to that in the 7th, as the survival rate of T4 decreased (T2, 31.2%; T3, 13.9%; T4, 15.1%; T1-T2, p=0.260; T2-T3, p=0.001; T3-T4, p=0.996). Both editions showed significant survival differences between each N category, except between N1 and N2 (p=0.063) in 7th edition. Differences of point estimates between the 8th and 7th T and N classification and overall stages were +0.028, +0.006, and +0.039, respectively (T, p=0.005; N, p=0.115; overall stage, p=0.005). In multivariable analysis, posthepatectomy liver failure, T category, N category, distant metastasis, histologic differentiation, intraoperative transfusion, and resection margin status were associated with OS. Conclusion The prognostic predictability of 8th AJCC staging for PHCC improved slightly, with statistical significance, compared to the 7th edition, but its overall performance is still unsatisfactory.

Abstract
Biliary tract cancers (BTC) are rare, heterogeneous malignancies that include cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer (GBC). Cholangiocarcinoma subtypes differ by anatomic location and molecular profile. Currently, resection with lymphadenectomy is the only curative treatment of locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma. Given the high risk of recurrence, multi-modality therapy spanning surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy should be considered. Current data is discordant and there is limited prospective data to support an optimal treatment regimen, though recent studies have demonstrated the utility of adjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiation in specific settings and patient populations. There is a potential role for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with resectable disease or chemoradiation in select patients with unresectable, locally advanced disease. Randomized clinical trials are necessary to establish the effectiveness of therapies specific to disease sites, especially with the emerging role of immunotherapy and targeted therapy to actionable mutations.

Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2018; 2:359-366. [PMID: 30238077 PMCID: PMC6139714 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2018] [Revised: 06/12/2018] [Accepted: 06/24/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent advances in dimensional imaging, surgical technique, and perioperative patient care have resulted in increased rates of complete resection with histopathologically negative margins and improved surgical outcomes in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. However, achieving cancer-free resection margins at ductal stumps in surgery for this disease remains challenging because of longitudinal extension, which is one of the hallmarks of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. When the ductal resection margins are shown to be positive on examination of frozen sections, discrimination between carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma is clinically important because residual carcinoma in situ may lead to late local recurrence whereas residual invasive carcinoma is associated with early local recurrence. Residual invasive carcinoma at the ductal margins should be avoided whenever technically feasible. Residual "carcinoma in situ" at the ductal margins appears to be allowed in resection for the advanced disease because it has less effect on survival than other adverse prognostic factors (pN1 and/ or pM1). However, in surgery for early-stage (pTis-2N0M0) extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, residual carcinoma in situ at the ductal margins may have an adverse effect on long-term survival, so should be avoided whenever possible. In this review, we focus on the histopathological term "carcinoma in situ," the biological behavior of residual carcinoma in situ at ductal resection margins, intraoperative histological examination of the ductal resection margins, outcome of additional resection for positive ductal margins, and adjuvant therapy for patients with positive margins.
