Petition cholangiocarcinoma

More details

More funding is needed to help find a cure or early diagnosis of this disease.
There is currently no clear national consensus for the optimal diagnosis and treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.
Mortality rates from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma have risen steeply and steadily over the past 30 years and since the mid 1990s more deaths have been coded annually in England and Wales as being due to this tumour than to hepatocellular carcinoma.1 In 1997 and 1998 cholangiocarcinoma caused almost 1000 deaths/year in England and Wales (approximately equal numbers of men and women). The cause of this rise is unknown and does not appear to be explained simply by improvements in diagnosis or changes in coding practice.1 The incidence of biliary cancers corresponds to mortality rates as the prognosis from these tumours is very poor.
There are no tumour markers specific for cholangiocarcinoma.
