Overview
Epidemiology
- Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common type of primary hepatic tumor, with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (ICCs) accounting for 10-20% of primary liver tumors.
Incidence
- Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare disease.
- There are significant variations in incidence according to region, with much higher rates seen in southeast Asia.
- The overall incidence of cholangiocarcinoma in U.S. population is estimated at 1 - 2 cases per 100,000 individuals.[1]
- Multiple studies have documented a steady increase in the incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma over the past several decades. Increases have been observed in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.[2] The reasons for the increasing occurrence of cholangiocarcinoma are unclear; improved diagnostic methods may be partially responsible, but the prevalence of potential risk factors for cholangiocarcinoma, such as HIV infection, has also been increasing during this time frame.[3]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma is approximately 0.01% to 0.46% per 100,000 individuals.[4]
- In the United States, the highest prevalence adjusted by age is found in the Hispanic population, whereas the lowest is found in African Americans.[5]
- There is a higher prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma in Asia, which has been attributed to endemic chronic parasitic infestation.
- The prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis may be as high as 30%, based on autopsy studies.[6]
Mortality
- Mortality of cholangiocarcinoma is slightly higher in men (1.9/100.000) than in women (1.5/100.000). Age-standardized mortality rates from intrahepatic (IC) and extrahepatic (EC) cholangiocarcinoma for men and women, by country are illustrated in the following table:
| Country | IC (men/women) | EC (men/women) |
|---|---|---|
| U.S.A. | 0.60 / 0.43 | 0.70 / 0.87 |
| Japan | 0.23 / 0.10 | 5.87 / 5.20 |
| Australia | 0.70 / 0.53 | 0.90 / 1.23 |
| England/Wales | 0.83 / 0.63 | 0.43 / 0.60 |
| Scotland | 1.17 / 1.00 | 0.60 / 0.73 |
| France | 0.27 / 0.20 | 1.20 / 1.37 |
| Italy | 0.13 / 0.13 | 2.10 / 2.60 |
Gender
- Cholangiocarcinoma is more common in males than in females(possibly due to the higher rate of primary sclerosing cholangitis, a major risk factor, in men).[8]
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop cholangiocarcinoma.
- The average age of the patients at the time of cholangiocarcinoma diagnosis is 70-80 years, except in patients with bile duct cystic disorders, which usually develop cholangiocarcinoma much earlier, between 30 and 40 years.[5]
- The incidence of cholangiocarcinoma increases with age.[9]
