Guidelines for Maximising Tissue Value in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Management

Pathologists developed recommendations based on international consensus to enhance the clinical value of tissue samples in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma management. The guidance includes consensus statements on specimen handling, reporting content, and the need for molecular information to guide personalised therapies. These recommendations aim to standardize reporting practices and optimize tissue utilization for improved patient care.
