The management of positive ductal margins with carcinoma in situ (R1-CIS) after resection is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of R1-CIS on survival in patients who underwent resection for distal cholangiocarcinoma.
We enrolled 121 consecutive patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. Poor prognostic factors were investigated by multivariable analysis, and we performed a stratified analysis to evaluate the impact of R1-CIS on survival in patients with or without prognostic factors.
Multivariable analysis identified node-positive status as the prognostic factor (P = 0.003). Stratified by lymph node status, overall survival (OS) in the R0 group was significantly better than that in the R1-CIS group in node-negative patients (57.1% vs 30.0%; P < 0.050). Although OS was comparable between the two groups in node-positive patients (5-year OS: 22.2% vs 20.0%, respectively; P = not significant). Furthermore, OS in patients in whom R0 was achieved by additional resection was significantly better than that in patients with R1-CIS (5-year OS: 66.7% vs 30.0%, respectively; P < 0.050).
Remnant CIS is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with node-negative distal cholangiocarcinoma. Every effort should be made to achieve negative bile duct margins.
切除术后伴原位癌(R1-CIS)的阳性胆管切缘的处理存在争议。本研究旨在评估切除术后远端胆管癌患者中 R1-CIS 对生存的影响。
我们纳入了 121 例连续的远端胆管癌患者。采用多变量分析探讨预后不良因素,并进行分层分析以评估 R1-CIS 对有或无预后因素的患者生存的影响。
多变量分析发现淋巴结阳性状态是预后因素(P=0.003)。根据淋巴结状态分层,在淋巴结阴性患者中,R0 组的总生存期(OS)明显优于 R1-CIS 组(57.1% vs 30.0%;P<0.050)。尽管在淋巴结阳性患者中两组的 OS 无差异(5 年 OS:分别为 22.2%和 20.0%;P=不显著)。此外,通过额外切除实现 R0 的患者的 OS 明显优于 R1-CIS 患者(5 年 OS:分别为 66.7%和 30.0%;P<0.050)。
对于淋巴结阴性的远端胆管癌患者,残留 CIS 与预后不良相关。应尽一切努力获得阴性胆管切缘。
