Table 2.

Univariate and multivariable analysis of cancer-specific survival in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Various parameters are associated with cancer-specific survival. ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ASA, American society of anesthesiologists classification; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BMI, body mass index; GGT, gamma glutamyltransferase; INR, international normalized ratio; LVI, lympho-vascular invasion; MVI, microvascular invasion; NF, nerve fibers; PNI, perineural invasion.
