Novel microenvironment-based classification of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with therapeutic implications

Miguel A. Martin-Serrano et al.

Summary: We present a comprehensive stratification of iCCA based on the tumor microenvironment (TME). The tumor is divided into five stable STIM classes, including 35% inflamed and 65% non-inflamed profiles. The inflamed classes, immune classical and inflammatory stroma, differ in oncogenic pathways and extent of desmoplasia. Analysis of cell-cell interactions highlights cancer-associated fibroblast subtypes as potential mediators of immune evasion. Among the non-inflamed classes, the desert-like class has the lowest immune infiltration with abundant regulatory T cells, while the hepatic stem-like class is enriched in 'M2-like' macrophages and specific mutations. Comparative analysis reveals high similarity between a KRAS/p19 murine model and the inflammatory stroma class. The KRAS-SOS inhibitor sensitizes a KRAS-mutant iCCA murine model to anti-PD1 therapy. Our findings provide valuable insights into the TME of iCCA and offer potential therapeutic targets for future research.

Selection criteria for minimally invasive resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma-a word of caution: a propensity score matched analysis using the national cancer database

Omid Salehi et al.

Summary: MILR, compared to OLR, showed advantages in terms of unplanned readmission, positive margin rates, and shorter hospital stay, but had worse lymph node yield and overall survival for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients requiring major hepatectomy. Subsequent careful decision-making is required for the selection of MILR in these cases.

Laparoscopic Versus Open Surgery for Early-Stage Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma After Mastering the Learning Curve: A Multicenter Data-Based Matched Study

Yang Jinhuan et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of laparoscopic liver resection and open surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). The results showed that laparoscopic surgery had better short-term outcomes, including less blood loss, shorter operation duration, and shorter hospital stay, compared to open surgery. For early-stage ICC, laparoscopic treatment may have certain advantages in terms of long-term outcomes.

Seung Jae Lee et al.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study compared the long-term survival outcomes of laparoscopic liver resection and open liver resection in patients with cHCC-CCA. The study found that laparoscopic liver resection was technically feasible and safe, with a shorter hospital stay and no compromise in oncological outcomes.

Laparoscopic versus open liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Report of an international multicenter cohort study with propensity score matching

Raffaele Brustia et al.

Summary: This study compared the overall survival of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who underwent open or laparoscopic liver resection. The results showed that laparoscopic liver resection was associated with better overall survival compared to open liver resection. Severe postoperative complications and steatosis were identified as predictors of death, while transfusion and severe postoperative complications were predictors of recurrence.

Laparoscopic versus open gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Shenghan Lou et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the benefits and risks of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) compared to open gastrectomy (OG) for the treatment of gastric cancer. The results showed that LG had advantages such as less blood loss, fewer postoperative complications, and faster recovery, but had disadvantages such as shorter proximal resection margin length, longer operation time, and fewer retrieved lymph nodes compared to OG. LG can be an alternative approach to OG for experienced surgeons, and patients with lower BMI and older age may benefit most.

Comparison of Hepatic Arterial Infusion Pump Chemotherapy vs Resection for Patients With Multifocal Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Stijn Franssen et al.

Summary: This cohort study compared the overall survival of patients with multifocal intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) after hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) floxuridine chemotherapy and resection. The study found that patients in both treatment groups had similar overall survival rates, suggesting that HAIP floxuridine chemotherapy could be an effective alternative option to consider, especially considering the higher complication rate of major liver resection.

Modification of the AJCC/UICC 8th edition staging system for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: proposal for an alternative staging system from cholangiocarcinoma-prevalent Northeast Thailand

Prakasit Sa-Ngiamwibool et al.

Summary: This study aimed to improve prognostic prediction and patient stratification for iCCA by creating the KKU staging system. The incorporation of growth patterns as independent prognostic factors and modification of AJCC stages in the KKU staging system resulted in better prediction of patient survival. The KKU staging system may serve as an alternative model for iCCA staging to enhance the accuracy of survival prognostication.

Efficacy and Safety of Drug-Eluting Beads Transarterial Chemoembolization Combining Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis

Xue-Gang Yang et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness and safety of drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization plus immune checkpoint inhibitors (DEB-TACE+ICIs) with chemotherapy in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). The results showed that patients in the DEB-TACE+ICIs group had higher tumor response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival compared to those in the chemotherapy group. The incidence of treatment-related adverse events was similar between the two groups.

Number and Station of Lymph Node Metastasis After Curative-intent Resection of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Impact Prognosis

Summary: The study suggests that curative-intent resection plays a critical role in the survival of ICC patients. The number and station of lymph node metastasis significantly impact patient survival, and examining at least 6 lymph nodes has the greatest discriminatory power for staging.

Francesca Ratti et al.

Summary: In this study, laparoscopic and open liver resections for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) were compared, showing similar outcomes in terms of operative time, number of retrieved nodes, rate and depth of negative resection margins. Laparoscopic approach resulted in lower blood loss and lower rate of postoperative complications compared to open surgery. There were no significant differences in long-term outcomes between the two groups.

Is laparoscopic liver resection safe for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma? A meta-analysis

Parbatraj Regmi et al.

Summary: Comparing laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), LLR showed advantages in terms of blood transfusion, resection rate, length of stay, overall morbidities, and death due to tumor recurrence compared to OLR. However, LLR was associated with smaller tumor size, fewer major hepatectomies, lower lymph node dissection rate, and inferior 5-year overall survival.

Meta-analysis of laparoscopic versus open liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Nikolaos Machairas et al.

Summary: The study found that compared to open liver resection, laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma results in smaller tumors, less extensive resections, higher R0 resection rates, less blood loss, lower transfusion requirements, decreased overall morbidity, and shorter hospital stays. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operative time, major complications, mortality, and long-term survival rates.
