Prediction of survival after pancreatoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma : independent external validation of a prognostic model for 3-year overall survival in Sweden
Objectives: The only treatment with curative potential for distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) is radical surgery which can be complemented with adjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of the present study was to perform an independent external validation of a prognostic model for 3-year overall survival based on routine clinicopathological variables for patients treated with pancreatoduodenectomy for dCCA.
