Abstract:
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a malignant liver tumor derived from the epithelial cells of the second- or higher-order branch of the bile duct, with the features of insidious early symptoms, high degree of malignancy, rapid disease progression, lymph node metastasis, intrahepatic metastasis, and vascular invasion, and such patients tend to have poor prognosis. Early diagnosis can improve the radical resection rate and prognosis of ICC. At present, the preoperative diagnosis of ICC mainly relies on imaging technology, laboratory examination, and pathological examination. In addition, some new diagnostic methods have also been used in the diagnosis of ICC in recent years, but histopathological examination remains the only method for the diagnosis of ICC. This article reviews the latest research advances in the diagnosis of ICC.
