Abstract

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant primary tumor originating from the intrahepatic bile duct epithelium. Current clinical consensus emphasizes that early detection,timely diagnosis,and R0 resection (when feasible) are critical strategies for improving outcomes. Advances in surgical techniques and multidisciplinary approaches have facilitated precision medicine-guided systemic therapies,including adjuvant and neoadjuvant regimens. These interventions significantly delay postoperative recurrence and improve 5-year survival rates. Systemic treatments have also modestly enhanced prognoses for advanced ICC patients. Artificial intelligence-driven radiomics and deep learning technologies show substantial efficacy in ICC diagnosis,prognostic assessment,and lymph node metastasis prediction,advancing precision medicine applications. Despite these therapeutic advances,survival outcomes-particularly for advanced-stage ICC-remain suboptimal. Future efforts should prioritize molecular signature-guided therapies,novel combination regimens,and artificial intelligence-assisted comprehensive management to establish a molecularly driven precision treatment framework.
