    Abstract
  • Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second largest primary liver cancer, and lymph node metastasis of ICC is commonly observed. Lymph node metastasis not only affects the prognosis of patients, but also determines the choice of treatment regimen. This article summarizes related articles on ICC in China and globally and elaborates on the serological markers and imaging indicators for predicting lymph node metastasis of ICC, the controversy over the selection of lymph node resection and postoperative adjuvant treatment for patients eligible for radical resection, and the research advances in neoadjuvant therapy for patients with advanced ICC who cannot undergo surgery, so as to provide theoretical support for the treatment of ICC patients and the prediction of lymph node metastasis.
