A novel preoperative inflammation score system established for postoperative prognosis predicting of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Inflammation is implicated in tumorigenesis and has been reported as an important prognostic factor in cancers. In this study, we aimed to develop and validate a novel inflammation score (IFS) system based on 12 inflammatory markers and explore its impact on intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) survival after hepatectomy.
