It is possible to cure cholangiocarcinoma in its early stage, but the probability of cure is relatively low.
Many cholangiocarcinoma patients often do not have obvious symptoms in the early stage, and by the time relevant symptoms appear or are found, many of them are in the middle or late stage, and the treatment effect is extremely poor. If cholangiocarcinoma can be found in the relatively early stage and surgical resection is carried out at an early stage, it is possible to achieve the effect of cure.
The malignancy of bile duct is high, many bile duct cancers, though belonging to the early stage, have actually appeared relevant metastasis, only that the metastasis does not reflect the corresponding metastatic tumor under the existing examination, and it is only in the form of cells that the corresponding metastasis is carried out in the bloodstream or lymphatic vessels, and only after a certain period of time will the metastatic tumor growth appear in other parts of the body accordingly. This is also one of the reasons why some early cancers have no cure, and even if the original lesion is radically removed, it will still recur after operation.
Therefore, cholangiocarcinoma can be cured in early stage, and it is possible to be cured by timely resection when metastasis has not yet appeared, but the probability of cure is not high. The cure of cholangiocarcinoma depends on the severity of the disease, treatment effect and patient’s compliance, and some cholangiocarcinomas can be cured.
