Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor of the biliary tree that is classified into three groups based on its anatomic location: intrahepatic (iCCA), perihilar (pCCA), and distal (dCCA). Perihilar CCA is the most common type and accounts for 50-60% of CCA cases. It is followed by distal CCA and then intrahepatic CCA that account for 20-30% and 10-20% of cases, respectively. This chapter discusses the hallmarks of liver fluke related CCA and explores insights into drug target possibilities.
胆管癌(CCA)是一种源于胆道的恶性肿瘤,根据其解剖位置可分为三组:肝内(iCCA)、肝门周围(pCCA)和远端(dCCA)。肝门周围 CCA 最常见,占 CCA 病例的 50-60%。其次是远端 CCA,然后是肝内 CCA,分别占 20-30%和 10-20%。本章讨论了与肝吸虫相关的 CCA 的特征,并探讨了药物靶点的可能性。
