Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare type of biliary tract malignancy, seldom found resectable at diagnosis, the 5-year survival rate depending on the possibility of complete surgical excision. In most cases it is only accidentally found in the early stage. The report presents a case of a
Concurrent laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is rare and no prior report has been found through a PubMed search. Here we report such a case of a 51-year old obese male presenting with hoarseness and trouble swallowing for 2 to 3 months. Imaging findings of
A number of studies have shown that obesity is implicated in the susceptibility to several cancers. However, the association between obesity and cholangiocarcinoma remains unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to quantitatively assess the association between overweight or obesity and the incidence of
Epidemiological studies have repeatedly investigated the association between excess body weight and the risk of biliary tract cancer with inconsistent results. The objective of this study was to quantitatively assess the associations between overweight and obesity and the risk of biliary tract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) ranks as the second most malignant type of primary liver cancer with a high degree of incidence and a very poor prognosis. Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) functions as an eraser of the RNA m6A modification, but its roles in ICC
The curative treatment of perihilar cholangiocarcinomas and centrally located intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas often requires major hepatectomy preceded by portal vein embolization. This strategy, however, is associated with a high rate of dropouts before operation or failure of UNASSIGNED
Metabolic syndrome is regarded as a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma. However, no research has been conducted to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), especially in the Chinese population. Herein, a hospital-based case-control study
BACKGROUND
Cholangiocarcinoma cells express high levels of the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-X(L) and Mcl-1 and are markedly chemo- and radioresistant. Mitochondria have emerged as central players in apoptosis. Antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family localise to the outer mitochondrial
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-delta (PPARdelta) is a nuclear receptor implicated in lipid oxidation and the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes. This study was designed to examine the potential effect of PPARdelta on human cholangiocarcinoma cell growth and its mechanism of actions.
BACKGROUND
Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary liver cancer, and the number of cases of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) have been steadily increasing worldwide. Although the reasons for this surge are unknown, insulin resistance (IR) could be a risk factor, similar to what has
Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant cancer of the bile ducts that can be anatomically classified as intrahepatic (ICC), perihilar (PCC), or extrahepatic (ECC). ICC is the second most common primary liver cancer (PLC) (1) and is beset by late diagnoses and poor prognoses, with the overall 5-year
In the early 1980s, Doll and Peto estimated that about 35% of all deaths from cancer in the United States were attributable to dietary factors, with a margin of uncertainty ranging from 10 to 70%. Since then, several dietary factors, e.g. fat and meat, have been suggested to increase the risk for
BACKGROUND
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive malignancy of the biliary tract that is a challenging issue for the medical community, with increasing incidence. Risk factors for CCA are similar to those known for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), such as cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B and C,
Cholangiocarcinoma is a strongly aggressive malignancy with a very poor prognosis. Effective therapeutic strategies are lacking because molecular mechanisms regulating cholangiocarcinoma cell growth are unknown. Furthermore, experimental in vivo animal models useful to study the pathophysiologic
The incidence of Cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCA) is increasing, due to a sharp increase of the intra-hepatic form. Evidence-ascertained risk factors for CCA are primary sclerosing cholangitis, Opistorchis viverrini infection, Caroli disease, congenital choledocal cist, Vater ampulla adenoma, bile
