Repeat resection for recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in select patients can lead to improved survival compared to locoregional or palliative therapy alone. A 3-year post-recurrence survival rate of 47% was observed in surgically treated patients. Independent predictors of post-recurrence death included time to recurrence, site of recurrence, macrovascular invasion, and size of recurrence. Repeat resection was associated with decreased post-recurrence death.
