Distant Metastases in Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: Does Location Matter? A Retrospective Analysis of 370 Patients.

Conclusions: During the disease course, every second patient developed extrahepatic metastases. While the presence of distant metastases was associated with poor patient outcomes, there was no significant difference between metastatic sites. However, hepatic tumor burden was the life-limiting risk factor in a majority of patients at the time of distant metastatic disease. PMID: 33101412 [PubMed]
