Despite being considered a rare type of malignancy, constituting only 3% of all gastrointestinal cancers, the incidence of biliary tract cancers (BTCs) has been increasing worldwide in recent years, with about 20,000 new cases annually only in the USA.1–3 These cancers arise ...
As 2024 draws to a close, we’re celebrating a wonderful year of content.
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a cancer of the epithelial cells lining the biliary tree in the liver and can occur both inside the liver (intrahepatic CCA [iCCA]) and outside the liver (extrahepatic CCA, which includes both perihilar and distal cholangiocarcinoma) (Figure 1). ...
Gastric and gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) adenocarcinomas are highly aggressive tumours with an overall poor prognosis, which is primarily attributable to the late stage of diagnosis resulting from nonspecific symptoms.1,2Â While curative surgical resection is recommended for early-stage cases,3Â advanced disease ...
ESMO 2023 brought forth some practice-changing data in the field of non-prostate genitourinary cancer. To understand these, as well as the other key trials and highlights from the meeting, we engaged in a conversation with the Clinical Director of the Genitourinary ...
Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the USA, with an estimated 81,180 new cases and 17,100 deaths in 2022.1 Advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) includes both locally advanced, unresectable and metastatic urothelial cancer. About 5% of all bladder cancer cases present ...
Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) are a heterogenous group of cancers arising from the biliary epithelium. While they account for around 3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies, they are the second most common primary liver cancer.1Â CCAs tend to metastasize and have early lymph node ...
Urothelial carcinoma is the most common histologic type of bladder cancer in the USA and Europe, accounting for 90% of all bladder cancers. It is the sixth most common type of cancer diagnosed in the USA, and the 10th leading cause ...
In 2020, an estimated 147,950 patients will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) in the USA, with 53,200 deaths expected.1 While many patients with CRC are cured, metastatic CRC (mCRC) is still a prevalent disease, and systemic therapy options have markedly improved outcomes ...
Cholangiocarcinoma constitutes approximately 3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies, and the incidence is on the rise, especially the intrahepatic subtype. These tumors are anatomically broadly classified into intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal cholangiocarcinoma. Recent understanding of tumorigenesis pathways has shown that there exists ...
Advanced (locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic) urothelial cancer (UC) is an incurable disease with a poor prognosis.1Â Platinum-based chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for most patients and, until recently, patients with advanced UC that has progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy had ...
Cholangiocarcinoma is an epithelial malignancy of the biliary system characterized by cholangiocyte differentiation, and its incidence is on the rise. Currently, cholangiocarcinomas are classified by their anatomical location in the biliary system as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, distal cholangiocarcinoma, or hilar cholangiocarcinoma. ...
