The aim of this research was to assess the impact of an intensive follow-up program on BTC patients who had received surgery with curative intent at a tertiary referral hospital.
BTC patients were followed-up every three months during the first two years after their first surgery and every six months from the third to the fifth post-operative year.
A total of 278 BTC patients who received R0/R1 surgery were included. A total of 17.7% of patients underwent a second surgery following disease relapse, and none of these patients experienced additional disease relapse.
An intensive follow-up after surgical resection may help in the early identification of disease relapse, leading to early treatment and prolonged survival in selected cases.
本研究旨在评估在一家三级转诊医院接受根治性手术的 BTC 患者强化随访方案的效果。
BTC 患者在首次手术后的前两年每三个月随访一次，第三至第五年每六个月随访一次。
共纳入 278 例接受 R0/R1 手术的 BTC 患者。共有 17.7%的患者在疾病复发后接受了二次手术，这些患者均未出现疾病的进一步复发。
对接受手术切除的患者进行强化随访有助于早期发现疾病复发，在某些情况下进行早期治疗和延长生存时间。
