    Abstract
  • Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma （ICC） is a relatively rare type of primary liver cancer， and its incidence rate has gradually increased in recent years. Due to its insidious onset and atypical clinical symptoms， most patients are already in the advanced stage of the disease at the time of confirmed diagnosis， and therefore， timely diagnosis and treatment are of great importance. Radical surgical resection is the standard treatment regimen for early-stage ICC patients， while systemic chemotherapy is the basic treatment for patients with advanced ICC and is often combined with interventional treatment， targeted therapy， and immunotherapy. This article reviews the advances in the diagnosis and treatment of ICC.
