THE INFLUENCE OF LYMPH NODE STATUS ON THE OVERALL SURVIVAL IN SURGICALLY TREATED HILAR CHOLANGIOCARCINOMA

Cholangiocarcinoma represents an extremely aggressive digestive malignancy associated with very poor survival rates in the absence of a treatment with curative intent. Moreover, an important per cent of patients are diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease, when resection with curative intent i...
