Objective To review and summarize the clinical data and survival information of patients with cholangiocarcinoma treated by surgery, and to explore the clinical and pathological features of cholangiocarcinoma, and the relationship between intraoperative and postoperative characteristics and prognosis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 678 cholangiocarcinoma patients after operation in the PLA General Hospital from January 2004 to December 2010, including the follow-up results of 397 cases. Only 293 patients with surgical resection of cholangiocarcinoma and non-surgical reasons for death were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards model. All indicators were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results The median follow-up time was 55.9 months. As of the end of follow-up, there were 158 cases of recurrence (53.9%) and 223 cases of death (76.1%). The median overall survival time was 21.2 months, and 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 71.7%, 38.2% and 10.6%, respectively. Tumor differentiation, TNM stage, surgical margin, intraoperative blood transfusion, tumor location, alkaline phosphatase levels in blood and recurrence were independent risk factors for overall survival time. Conclusion Low degree of tumor differentiation, advanced TNM stage, cancer invasion on the surgical margin, intraoperative blood transfusion, tumor located outside the liver, alkaline phosphatase levels in blood higher than normal, and cholangiocarcinoma tumor recurrence are risk factors for overall survival rate in patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
