Cholangiocarcinoma typically be incurable at diagnosis, wich be why early detection be ideal.[2][7] Insyd dese cases palliative treatments fi include surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, den stenting procedures.[2] Insyd about a third of cases wey dey involve de common bile duct den, less commonly, plus oda locations, de tumor fi be completely removed by surgery, wey dey offer a chance of a cure.[2] Even wen surgical removal be successful, chemotherapy den radiation therapy be generally recommended.[2] Insyd sam instances, surgery fi include a liver transplantation.[8] Even wen surgery be successful, de 5-year survival probability typically be less dan 50%.[9]

Cholangiocarcinoma be rare insyd de Western world, plus estimates of e dey occur insyd 0.5–2 people per 100,000 per year.[2][10] Rates be higher insyd Southeast Asia wer liver flukes be common.[11] Rates insyd parts of Thailand be 60 per 100,000 per year.[11] E typically dey occur insyd people insyd dema 70s, den insyd de 40s for those plus primary sclerosing cholangitis.[8] Na rates of cholangiocarcinoma within de liver insyd de Western world increase.[10]
