Effect of liver fibrosis on survival in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a SEER population-based study which reported that the impact of fibrosis on overall and cancer-specific survival 12, 36, and 60 months following diagnosis, was evaluated in the entire cohort and in subgroups stratified according to treatment approach and the American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor stage using a Cox proportional-hazards model.
After adjusting for age, sex, race, year of diagnosis, AJCC stage, and surgical treatment strategy, advanced fibrosis was associated with worse cancer-specific survival across follow-up periods.
Similar effects were observed for overall survival.

The aim of this review is to propose guidelines for initial radiological staging and the follow-up imaging regime for melanoma. This will provide consistency in the access and delivery of quality melanoma care. Radiological imaging plays an important role in assessing the extent of disease, guiding individual treatment and evaluating treatment response. However, there exists limited literature addressing the optimal radiological staging and surveillance imaging regimes for melanoma. The lack of consensus on imaging for melanoma can generate inconsistency in the standard of skin cancer care provided. This review considers the appropriate imaging techniques for both initial melanoma staging and follow-up specifically in the New Zealand clinical environment. The recommendations in this article are based on evaluation of the currently available literature and consensus of fee
