Abstract
Although lymph node metastasis (LNM) is one of the most important contributory factors to the overall survival of ICC patients, the role of lymph node dissection(LND) is still under research. Some researchers thought hepatectomy combined with extended lymphadenectomy is the standard surgical treatment for ICC. However, not all the clinical centers approved routine LND. Some centers have reported the use of selective LND and limited routine LND. This review will mainly concern lymph node metastasis and lymph node dissection. Key words: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; Lymphatic metastasis; Lymph node dissection; Lymph node ratio
