Background: Osteopontin (OPN) is known to be a secreted adhesive glycoprotein. Recent studies have reported that the overexpression of OPN is correlated with tumorigenesis, tumor aggressiveness, and poor prognosis in several types of human cancer. The aim of this study was to determine whether the expression of OPN in cases of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) indicates the clinical outcome.
