Overview
The staging of cholangiocarcinoma varies depending on whether the tumor is primarily intrahepatic (ICC), hilar/perihilar, or extrahepatic.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
The staging of cholangiocarcinoma varies depending on whether the tumor is primarily intrahepatic (ICC), hilar/perihilar, or extrahepatic.[1][2][3][4]
Staging
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma staging
Stage | T | N | M |
IA | T1 | N0 | M0 |
IB | T2 | N0 | M0 |
IIA | T3 | N0 | M0 |
IIB | T1-3 | N1 | M0 |
III | T4 | Any N | M0 |
IV | Any T | Any N | M1 |
AJCC 2010 | |||
T | Tis | The tumour is only within the top layers of cells lining the bile duct | |
---|---|---|---|
T1 | There is one tumor that is contained within the bile duct, but has grown deeper into the wall of the bile duct | ||
T2a | There is one tumor and it has grown through the wall of the bile duct into a nearby blood vessel | ||
T2b | There is more than one tumour which may or may not have grown into a nearby blood vessel | ||
T3 | The tumour has either grown into the covering of the liver (the peritoneum) or has grown into nearby structures outside the liver, such as the bowel | ||
T4 | The tumour has spread into the liver by growing along the ducts | ||
N | N0 | There are no cancer cells in the lymph nodes | |
N1 | There are cancer cells in the lymph nodes | ||
M | M0 | There is no sign of cancer spread | |
M1 | The cancer has spread to other parts of the body away from the bile duct |
Perhilar cholangiocarcinoma
Stage | T | N | M |
IA | T1 | N0 | M0 |
IB | T2 | N0 | M0 |
IIA | T3 | N0 | M0 |
IIB | T1-3 | N1 | M0 |
III | T4 | Any N | M0 |
IV | Any T | Any N | M1 |
AJCC 2010 | |||
T | Tis | The tumor is only within the top layers of cells lining the bile duct | |
---|---|---|---|
T1 | The tumor has grown deeper into the wall of the bile duct | ||
T2a | The tumor has grown through the wall of the bile duct into the fatty tissue around it | ||
T2b | The tumor has grown into the main part of the liver next to the bile duct | ||
T3 | The tumor has grown into one of the main blood vessels of the liver (the portal vein or hepatic artery) | ||
T4 | The tumour has grown into the right and left hepatic bile ducts. Or it has grown into more than one of the blood vessels. Or it has grown into a hepatic bile duct and more than one blood vessel | ||
N | N0 | There are no cancer cells in the lymph nodes | |
N1 | There are cancer cells in nearby lymph nodes | ||
N2 | There are cancer cells in lymph nodes further away, such as the chest | ||
M | M0 | There is no sign of cancer spread | |
M1 | The cancer has spread to other parts of the body far away from the bile duct |
Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
Stage | T | N | M |
IA | T1 | N0 | M0 |
IB | T2 | N0 | M0 |
IIA | T3 | N0 | M0 |
IIB | T1-3 | N1 | M0 |
III | T4 | Any N | M0 |
IV | Any T | Any N | M1 |
AJCC 2010 | |||
T | Tis | The tumor is only within the top layers of cells lining the bile duct | |
---|---|---|---|
T1 | The tumor is entirely inside the bile duct but has grown deeper into the bile duct wall | ||
T2 | The tumor has grown through the wall of the bile duct | ||
T3 | The tumor has grown into the gallbladder, pancreas, small bowel or other nearby organs | ||
T4 | The tumor has grown into the major blood vessel in the abdomen (the aorta) where it joins the main blood vessel of the liver (the hepatic artery) | ||
N | N0 | There are no cancer cells in the lymph nodes | |
N1 | There are cancer cells in the lymph nodes | ||
M | M0 | There is no sign of cancer spread | |
M1 | The cancer has spread to other parts of the body away from the bile duct |
