Elevated Serum Levels of CCL23 Are Associated with Poor Outcome after Resection of Biliary Tract Cancer

<div>Elevated preoperative CCL23 levels are associated with an impaired outcome. (a) BTC patients with a preoperative CCL23 level above the 50<sup>th</sup> percentile show a trend towards an impaired overall survival (OS) following tumor resection. (b) BTC patients with preoperative CCL23 serum levels above the optimal prognostic cut-off value (702.4.93 pg/ml) have a significantly reduced OS compared to patients with serum levels below this cut-off.</div>
