| Core Tip |
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an intractable cancer due to the difficulty of diagnosis in its early stage. The incidence of CCA in the northeast of Thailand is the highest in the world. It is of the utmost importance to analyze the risk factors and the mechanism to prevent the disease and to also detect the disease in its early stage to save patients’ lives. We analyzed the genetic and environmental determinants of risks for CCA and discussed this with the findings already published by other researchers. It is of the utmost importance to develop a non-invasive, specific and sensitive method to detect CCA. |
