- Abstract
The article presents a study which analyzes the prognostic impact to patients with regional node-positive biliary cancer having found with para-aortic lymph node micrometastasis. It states that para-aortic lymph node metastasis has a negative impact on the prognosis of biliary cancer although it is one of the most important factors in the prognosis for many cancers. The study concludes that para-aortic lymph node metastasis has a poor relevance on prognosis, and still needs efficient detection.
