Background: Prior studies evaluating the effect of margin status on clinical outcome in patients undergoing resection for intrahepatic and extrahepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma include small numbers of patients with histologically positive margins. The value of margin negative resection in these cases remains unclear.
Methods: We queried the National Cancer Database to identify patients undergoing resection for clinical stage I to III intrahepatic and extrahepatic hilar between 2004 and 2015.
