Liver capsule: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA)

miRNA and lncRNA as biomarkers in cholangiocarcinoma(CCA)

The microRNAs are a group of 20 nucleotides-long non-coding RNAs. By binding to the 3'UTR region of target mRNA, microRNAs can perform extensive actions mediating gene expression at post-trancriptional stages. It makes microRNAs serve as very crucial regulators in various biological progress including carcinogenesis. Long non-coding RNAs, however, are a subgroup of RNA with the length of 200 nu...

Liver Fluke Induces Cholangiocarcinoma

Liver fl uke infection caused by Opisthorchis viverrini, O. felineus, and Clonorchis sinensis is a major public health problem in East Asia and Eastern Europe. Currently, more than 600 million people are at risk of infection with these trematodes [1]. O. viverrini is endemic in Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Vietnam, and Cambodia [2], and C. sin...

Liver Transplantation for Cholangiocarcinoma

The treatment of intraand extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas remains a medical challenge. Due to the poor efficacy of conventional chemotherapy, surgical treatment modalities represent the only chance of attaining long-term survival and cure. The introduction of new procedures, in particular extended liver resections – which were enabled by increasing surgical expertise and the implementation of ...

Liver transplantation for cholangiocarcinoma.

Liver transplantation following high dose neoadjuvant radiotherapy with chemosensitization achieves excellent results for patients with early stage, unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma or cholangiocarcinoma arising in the setting of primary sclerosing cholangitis.
