Clinical and pathological features of combined hepatocellular ‐cholangiocarcinoma compared with other liver cancers

ConclusionsThe clinical features of CHC, including sex, HBV infection, AFP and PIVKAII levels, were similar to HCC, while its prognosis and pathological features, including vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis, were similar to ICC. CEA levels and tumor size were independent prognostic factors in patients with CHC.
