Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a heterogeneous bile duct adenocarcinoma with a rising global incidence and a poor prognosis. This review aims to present a comprehensive overview of the most recent radiological research on iCCA, focusing on its histopathologic subclassification and the use of imaging findings to predict prognosis and inform treatment decisions. Histologically, iCCA is subclassified into small duct (SD-iCCA) and large duct (LD-iCCA) types. SD-iCCA typically arises in the peripheral small bile ducts and is often associated with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis. It presents as a mass-forming lesion with a relatively favorable prognosis. LD-iCCA originates near the hepatic hilum, is linked to chronic bile duct diseases, and exhibits more aggressive behavior and poorer outcomes. Imaging is essential for differentiating these subtypes and assessing prognostic factors like tumor size, multiplicity, vascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, enhancement patterns, and intratumoral fibrosis. Imaging-based prognostic models have demonstrated predictive accuracy comparable to traditional pathological staging systems. Furthermore, imaging findings are instrumental in guiding treatment decisions, including those regarding surgical planning, lymphadenectomy, neoadjuvant therapy, and the selection of targeted therapies based on molecular profiling. Advancements in radiological research have improved our understanding of iCCA heterogeneity, facilitating prognosis prediction and treatment personalization. Imaging findings assist in subclassifying iCCA, predicting outcomes, and informing treatment decisions, thus optimizing patient management. Incorporating imaging-based approaches into clinical practice is crucial for advancing personalized medicine in the treatment of iCCA. However, further high-level evidence from international multicenter prospective studies is required to validate these findings and increase their clinical applicability.
肝内胆管癌(iCCA)是一种异质性胆管腺癌,全球发病率呈上升趋势,预后较差。本综述旨在全面概述iCCA的最新放射学研究,重点关注其组织病理学亚分类以及利用影像学表现预测预后并为治疗决策提供依据。从组织学上看,iCCA可分为小胆管型(SD-iCCA)和大胆管型(LD-iCCA)。SD-iCCA通常起源于外周小胆管,常与慢性肝炎或肝硬化相关。它表现为肿块形成性病变,预后相对较好。LD-iCCA起源于肝门附近,与慢性胆管疾病有关,表现出更具侵袭性的行为和更差的预后。影像学对于区分这些亚型以及评估预后因素(如肿瘤大小、数量、血管侵犯、淋巴结转移、强化模式和瘤内纤维化)至关重要。基于影像学的预后模型已证明其预测准确性与传统病理分期系统相当。此外,影像学表现有助于指导治疗决策,包括手术规划、淋巴结清扫、新辅助治疗以及基于分子谱的靶向治疗选择。放射学研究的进展提高了我们对iCCA异质性的理解,有助于预后预测和治疗个体化。影像学表现有助于对iCCA进行亚分类、预测预后并为治疗决策提供依据,从而优化患者管理。将基于影像学的方法纳入临床实践对于推进iCCA治疗的个性化医疗至关重要。然而,需要来自国际多中心前瞻性研究的进一步高级证据来验证这些发现并提高其临床适用性。
