Core Tip This retrospective multicenter study investigated the prognostic influence of hepatic steatosis in patients with combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA). Severe hepatic steatosis was associated with a favorable prognosis in cHCC-CCA patients. This protective effect was particularly significant in preventing early recurrence and was more pronounced among non-cirrhotic patients. We propose that the evaluation of hepatic steatosis be incorporated into the routine pathological diagnosis of cHCC-CCA to optimize postoperative management for this tumor entity.
