ABSTRACT Objective. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the outcomes of patients resected for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with upfront surgery or after downstaging treatment. Methods. All consecutive patients with ICC between January 1997 and November 2017 were included in a single-center database and retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: upfront resection or resection after downstaging using either chemotherapy alone or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) combined with chemotherapy. Survival rates of patients who underwent upfront surgery for ICC were compared with those of patients who underwent surgery after downstaging therapy. Results. A total of 169 patients resected for ICC were included: 137 underwent upfront surgery and 32 received downstaging treatment because their tumor was initially unresectable (13 received chemotherapy, 19 received

SIRT). Median OS was not different between the two groups: 32.3 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 23.9–40.7] with primary surgery versus 45.9 months (95% CI 32.3–59.4) with downstaging treatment (p = 0.54, log-rank test). In a multivariable Cox regression model, downstaging treatment was not associated with a better or worse prognosis; however, delivery of SIRT as a downstaging treatment was associated with a significant benefit in multivariable analysis (hazard ratio 0.34, 95% CI 0.14–0.84; p = 0.019). Conclusions. Overall survival of patients resected after downstaging treatment was not different compared with the OS of patients resected upfront. Patients should therefore again be discussed with the surgeon following medical treatment. SIRT may be an efficient neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable ICC, in order to improve surgical results.
