However, it does not distinguish between intrahepatic and extrahepatic hilar tumours, and has no clinicopathological basis. This retrospective study examined whether the concept of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is valid clinically.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Some 250 patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma were divided into extrahepatic (EHC, 167 patients) and intrahepatic (IHC, 83) groups based on tumour location.

IHCs were more advanced at the time of surgery; stage III or IV disease was found in 37\u00b77 per cent of EHCs and 59 per cent of IHCs. Survival was marginally better for patients with EHCs than for those with IHCs (29\u00b73 versus 20 per cent at 5 years; P = 0\u00b7057), but survival rates were similar for each tumour stage in the American Joint Committee on Cancer classification.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Combining EHC and IHC under the term perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is valid, as these tumours have comparable biological behaviour, with similar clinical management depending on stage and invasion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.6655","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,10]],"date-time":"2009-07-10T00:46:10Z","timestamp":1247186770000},"page":"926-934","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":100,"title":["The concept of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is valid"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"T","family":"Ebata","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Kamiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H","family":"Nishio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Nagasaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Pathophysiology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y","family":"Nimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aichi Cancer Centre Hospital, Nagoya, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Nagino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070910380005600_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"463","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-199610000-00005","article-title":"Cholangiocarcinoma.
