To date the true global incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) and the underlying risk factors remain to be fully defined, in particular, the role of occupational and environmental factors. Currently, the putative role of asbestos exposure as a risk factor for iCCA is gaining increased attention in the international scientific community and agencies. In this commentary we review and integrate available epidemiological and mechanistic evidences that support a potential role of asbestos exposure in iCCA etiology.
迄今为止,肝内胆管癌(iCCA)的真实全球发病率及其潜在危险因素仍未得到充分确定,特别是职业和环境因素的作用。目前,国际科学界和机构越来越关注石棉暴露作为 iCCA 危险因素的潜在作用。在这篇评论中,我们回顾并整合了现有的流行病学和机制证据,这些证据支持石棉暴露在 iCCA 病因学中的潜在作用。
