2023年6月6日 · Distal cholangiocarcinoma occurs in the portion of the bile duct nearest the small intestine. This type is also called extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Cholangiocarcinoma is often diagnosed when it's advanced, making successful treatment difficult to achieve.

Nearly all bile duct cancers are cholangiocarcinomas (a type of adenocarcinoma, which is a cancer that starts in gland cells). Cholangiocarcinomas start in the gland cells that line the inside of the ducts.

2024年2月13日 · Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) is a rare, aggressive form of cancer. It often affects adults in their 70s and has spread beyond the bile ducts by the time healthcare providers diagnose it. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

2024年5月15日 · Bile duct cancer is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the bile ducts. Bile duct cancer is also called cholangiocarcinoma. A network of tubes, called ducts, connects the liver, gallbladder, and small intestine.

Cholangiocarcinoma, also known as bile duct cancer, is a type of cancer that forms in the bile ducts. [2] Symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma may include abdominal pain, yellowish skin, weight loss, generalized itching, and fever. [1] Light colored stool or dark urine may also occur. [4]

Cholangiocarcinoma, or bile duct cancer, occurs when a malignant (cancerous) tumor grows in one of the ducts that transport bile from the liver to the small intestine.

Bile duct cancer is also called cholangiocarcinoma. Most bile duct cancer is adenocarcinoma. This growth begins in the mucus glands that line the insides of the bile ducts. Bile duct tumors can occur in the main bile ducts outside the liver (extrahepatic) or within the liver (intrahepatic).

2022年6月3日 · Bile duct adenocarcinoma is also called cholangiocarcinoma. Hilar (or perihilar) bile duct cancers, also called Klatskin tumors, form where hepatic duct branches leave the liver. About two-thirds of all bile duct cancers are hilar or perihilar in origin.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly lethal adenocarcinoma of the hepatobiliary system, which can be classified as intrahepatic, perihilar and distal. Each anatomic subtype has distinct genetic aberrations, clinical presentations and therapeutic approaches.

2024年5月6日 · Cholangiocarcinoma is classified by anatomical origin as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA); eCCA is subdivided into perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) and distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA). More than 95% of cholangiocarcinomas are adenocarcinomas.
