LN diameter alone proved to be a relevant but unreliable imaging-marker for LNM prediction in iCC. Our proposed prognostic model, which additionally considers intrahepatic metastases and hilar and capsular infiltration, significantly improves discriminatory power. Hilar and capsular involvement might indicate direct tumor extension to lymphatic liver structures.
