Summary
This study tested a computer model that helps surgeons decide the best type of surgery for patients with a rare form of liver cancer that has spread into the bile ducts. The model uses patient scans and medical history to recommend whether to remove part of the bile duct or just the tumor. The goal is to improve long-term survival by personalizing the surgical plan.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a data-driven tool to help surgeons decide the best surgical approach for patients with this rare and high-risk liver cancer, potentially improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is a completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The model's recommendations need further validation in real-world settings before they can be widely used.
