Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month
EVENT CATEGORIES:

Dates Active:
Begins: Feb 01, 2025
Ends: Feb 28, 2025

DESCRIPTION:

Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month seeks to raise awareness about cholangiocarcinoma, a form of cancer that arises from the cells within the bile ducts, both inside and outside the liver. This rare and often aggressive cancer is relatively unknown compared to other types of cancer, which is why awareness efforts are crucial. Awareness campaigns during this month focus on the importance of funding for research, patient support initiatives, and the need for improved diagnostic and treatment methods.

Cholangiocarcinoma is characterized by the growth of malignant cells in the bile ducts, which carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. This disease can be classified based on the location of the tumors: intrahepatic if they occur within the liver and extrahepatic if they are found in the bile ducts outside the liver.

The observance of Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month aims to shine a light on the condition, inform the public about the signs and symptoms of the disease, and promote research efforts. Signs and symptoms often do not appear until the later stages, including jaundice, itching, abdominal pain, fever, and weight loss.

Cholangiocarcinoma can affect anyone but is more commonly diagnosed in individuals over the age of 50. Certain factors can increase the risk of developing this cancer, including primary sclerosing cholangitis, chronic liver disease, hepatitis, liver fluke infection, and exposure to caustic chemicals.

Preventive measures against cholangiocarcinoma are unclear. However, maintaining liver health through a balanced diet, regular exercise, moderation in alcohol consumption, and avoiding known liver toxins may help reduce the risk. Additionally, monitoring for liver diseases and seeking regular medical check-ups can lead to the early detection of problems in the bile ducts.
