In Thailand, liver cancer is the most common malignancy in males and the third most common among females. In the Northeast region, cholangiocarcinoma (CHCA) is the prevalent type, with Opisthorchis viverrini (OV), an endemic liver fluke, being considered the cause. We evaluated the role of ultrasound (U/S) for cholangiocarcinoma screening as part of a larger cohort to characterize the linkage between liver fluke infestation and CHCA in Khon Kaen (Northeast Thailand). Most people (77%) had normal U/S findings while only 0.5% had suspected CHCA; thus, U/S should be used primarily for those with the highest risk, presenting symptoms and/or being OV positive.
在泰国，肝癌是男性中最常见的恶性肿瘤，在女性中位列第三。在东北地区，胆管癌（CHCA）是主要类型，当地的肝吸虫——麝猫后睾吸虫（OV）被认为是病因。作为一个更大队列研究的一部分，我们评估了超声（U/S）在胆管癌筛查中的作用，以明确泰国东北部孔敬府肝吸虫感染与胆管癌之间的联系。大多数人（77%）的超声检查结果正常，只有0.5%的人疑似患有胆管癌；因此，超声主要应用于那些风险最高、出现症状和/或OV检测呈阳性的人群。
