Cholangiocarcinoma is a common hepatobiliary carcinoma in Thailand. It is believed that both chronic exposure to liver fluke infestation and nitrosamine exposure are the two main underlying factors leading to the carcinogenesis. Here, the author further extrapolates and proposes a new hypothesis based on the environmental ecological data that the stimulation of fresh water fish by contaminated pesticide in water reservoirs might be a possible background of the high prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma in Thailand.
胆管癌是泰国一种常见的肝胆癌。人们认为，长期接触肝吸虫感染和亚硝胺暴露是导致致癌的两个主要潜在因素。在此，作者根据环境生态数据进一步推断并提出了一个新假说，即水库中受污染农药对淡水鱼的刺激可能是泰国胆管癌高发病率的一个潜在背景。
