A 25-year-old woman in the UK had always been in good health, but she contracted bile duct cancer in July last year. She died of the disease earlier this year. It only took about half a year from diagnosis to death. Before she died, she left a touching open letter, telling the outside world to enjoy the little things in life, and hoping that her fiancé could do one thing well for her. Cholangiocarcinoma is known as the “hidden cancer king” because its early symptoms are not obvious, so it is easily ignored and delayed in treatment. Among them, discoloration of stool is also one of the warning signs of cholangiocarcinoma.

According to British mediaDaily MailAccording to reports, 25-year-old Daniella Thackray works as a staff member in the human resources department of an advertising agency in Leeds, England, and has always been in good health.

Finally, she sent a message to her fiancé: “Go and enjoy your life now, you deserve it.”
Pay attention to the 6 major symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma. Is discolored stool a warning sign?
It only took about half a year from the time Daniella Thackray was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma to her death. This is because the early symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma are very subtle, and by the time symptoms become apparent, the disease has often reached the final stage. Therefore, cholangiocarcinoma is also called the “hidden version” Cancer King”.according toFaculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong KongAccording to the data, the symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma depend on the location of the tumor. There are generally 6 common symptoms:
6 major symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma
If the tumor becomes obstructive, it can lead to cholangitis, which may lead to fever.
Cholangiocarcinoma belongs to liver cancer and is divided into 4 major types
The structure of the bile duct includes extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts, and cholangiocarcinoma can affect any location in the bile duct. Cholangiocarcinoma is divided into the following 4 categories based on where it occurs:
4 major types of cholangiocarcinoma
- intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
- extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
- Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (occurring at the junction of the extrahepatic bile duct and the liver)
- Klatskin Tumour (occurs when the left and right hepatic ducts merge to form the common hepatic duct)
according toHong Kong Cancer FoundationAccording to statistics, cholangiocarcinoma is a type of liver cancer, which is the canceration of bile duct wall cells and accounts for about 10% of primary liver cancers. The bile duct is responsible for transporting bile secreted by the liver to the gallbladder, connecting the liver and gallbladder. Cholangiocarcinoma is more common in the connecting segments outside the liver and is treated similarly to hepatocellular carcinoma.
9 types of people are susceptible to cholangiocarcinoma, and 80% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage
Dr. Qian Zhenghong from the Gastroenterology, Hepatobiliary and Biliary Department once pointed out that there are 9 major factors that can easily cause cholangiocarcinoma. Among them, if you drink one drink regularly, the risk of cancer is 2 times higher.
The Faculty of Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong mentioned in a study that biliary tract cancer is considered an uncommon cancer. In the past 10 years, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a subtype of cholangiocarcinoma originating from the bile ducts of the liver) has also been reported due to obesity and unhealthy lifestyle, the global incidence rate continues to increase. At the same time, the study cited data indicating that nearly 80% of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma are diagnosed at an advanced stage or have metastasized cancer cells and are not suitable for surgical treatment.
What is the survival rate for cholangiocarcinoma?
The Taiwan Cancer Foundation also pointed out that although surgery is the only treatment hope for most patients with cholangiocarcinoma, its therapeutic effect is not significant.
- If only one cholangiocarcinoma occurs in the liver, the five-year survival rate after surgery is 25 to 33%;
- If the tumor grows near the porta hepatis or common bile duct, the five-year survival rate of surgery is even lower, only 10 to 15%, which is quite unsatisfactory.
