The modified Glasgow prognostic score (MGPS) is linked to poorer overall and disease-free survival in biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients, indicating its potential as an independent prognostic indicator. Meta-analysis of 15 studies, encompassing 2447 patients, underscores the significance of MGPS in predicting clinical outcomes in BTC.

Liver transplantation gave better 5-year survival than liver resection in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, including tumors within UCSF criteria.
A close-to-open cutting method was used for robotic liver resection, with no bile leaks and shorter hospital stays than after laparoscopy.
Robotic liver resection using a close-to-open forceps technique was associated with no bile leakage and a shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic resection, even though more complex resections were performed in the robotic group.
