CT-based clinico-radiological nomograms for prognosis prediction in patients with intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma: a multi-institutional study

ConclusionsNomograms based on CT imaging features can provide accurate individual survival prediction for IMCC patients before and after surgery, which may help to improve personalized treatment.Key Points• Imaging features including multiple nodules, arterial enhancement pattern, CT-reported LN metastasis, and capsular retraction were poor independent prognostic factors for IMCC patients.• The imaging-based nomograms presented improved prognostic performance and discrimination compared with the common prognostic models.• The nomograms can provide accurate individual survival prediction for IMCC patients before and after surgery.
