Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver malignancy after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Long-term outcomes following surgical resection are varied and depend on a wide variety of factors. In turn, accurate prognostication of long-term survival remains important for clinicians and patients to guide treatment decision-making. We conducted a study on international multi-institutional data to identify the most important clinicopathologic factors relative to survival and developed a prognostic online calculator. While classic survival models are standard statistical technique used in healthcare industry, development of user-friendly calculators can help to better communicate about the prediction of survival rates to patients after surgery. This poster highlights how a utilization of a novel, easy-to-use online calculator to estimate the 5-year survival probability for patients have helped clinicians and patients to understand about their prognosis. This tool could provide surgeons with useful information to guide treatment decision-making and have informed conversations about prognosis with patients following surgical resection of ICC.
