What is cholangiocarcinoma

First, the etiology of cholangiocarcinoma is still unclear, and the factors that may be related to its pathogenesis include ulcerative colitis, gallstones, Clonorchis sinensis infection, choledochal cyst, etc., all of which can increase the risk of cholangiocarcinoma. At present, there are many kinds of treatment methods for cholangiocarcinoma, but many treatments have not played a very good effect.

Second, it may be related to pancreatic juice reflux, bile stasis, stone formation, malignant transformation of benign bile duct tumor and tumor like differentiation of liver stem cells. All of them can cause chronic inflammatory stimulation to bile duct mucosa, and then induce cholangiocarcinoma.

Third: cholangiocarcinoma refers to the primary malignant tumor of extrahepatic bile duct from the confluence of left and right hepatic duct to the lower end of common bile duct. Cholangiocarcinoma can be divided into hilar cholangiocarcinoma or upper cholangiocarcinoma, middle cholangiocarcinoma and lower cholangiocarcinoma.
