Background: There has been renewed interest in HBV-associated ICC, because it could share a common carcinogenesis disease process with HCC. We investigated whether there is a difference in clinical outcome between ICC patients with HBV infection and those without any major risk factors for HCC.
Methods: A total of 253 curatively resected, surgically diagnosed ICC patients were analyzed and divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of major risk factors for HCC: an HBV group (n = 45) and a non-HCC-risk (NHR) group (n = 208).
Results: Lymph node metastasis was more frequently observed in the NHR group (HBV vs. NHR: 8.89% vs. 24.52%, P = 0.027). Patients in the HBV group demonstrated more favorable survival than those in the NHR group. However, this difference was not statistically significant (5-year survival rate, 54.7% vs. 42.3%, P = 0.128). Cumulative recurrence rate in the HBV group was 62.2%, which was not significantly different from 63.0% in the NHR group (P = 1.000).
Conclusion: This study found that while ICC patients with HBV infection showed some favorable tumor characteristics, patients' stage-specific survival and recurrence rates were not significantly different compared to those without any major risk factors for HCC.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), which are the only members of the gamma(γ) herpesviruses, are oncogenic viruses that significantly contribute to the development of various human cancers, such as Burkitt's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, and primary effusion lymphoma. Oncogenesis triggered by γ-herpesviruses involves complex interactions between viral genetics, host cellular mechanisms, and immune evasion strategies. At the genetic level, crucial viral oncogenes participate in the disruption of cell signaling, leading to uncontrolled proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis.

Inspection robots, which improve hazard identification and enhance safety management, play a vital role in the examination of high-risk environments in many fields, such as power distribution, petrochemical, and new energy battery factories. Currently, the position precision of the robots is a major barrier to their broad application. Exact kinematic model and control system of the robots is required to improve their location accuracy during movement on the unstructured surfaces.
