Tumor necrosis and infiltrating macrophages predict survival after curative resection for cholangiocarcinoma

Background. Tumor necrosis as well as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor invasive front (TIF) have been suggested to have a prognostic value in selected solid tumors, inclusive hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
