Current Epidemiology Studies on Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) Classification of CCA Incidence of CCA Clinical risk factors for CCA Genetic risk factors for CCA
Classification of CCA CCA is not a single disease but a group of three separate diseases The three have similarities, but also distinct differences
