Intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (review)

Cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCA) is a rare disease. In average it is 3% of all malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Intrahepatic type (iCCA) represents from 5 to 10% of the CCA. The chronic inflammation plays an important role in pathogenesis of CCA, against the background of what there...

Description
Summary:Cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCA) is a rare disease. In average it is 3% of all malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Intrahepatic type (iCCA) represents from 5 to 10% of the CCA. The chronic inflammation plays an important role in pathogenesis of CCA, against the background of what there is an activation of various cellular signaling pathways leading to disruption of cell proliferation of cholangiocytes. The majority of patients with iCCA develop symptoms only at an advanced stage of disease. Surgical treatment at an early stage is curative in improving the prognosis of these patients. Certainly, knowledge of changes at the molecular genetic level in patients with iCCA will improve the methods of examination of these patients, that elevate the diagnosis and treatment results.
