Cholangiocarcinoma is basically advanced if surgery is not recommended. The specific survival time varies greatly and is related to a variety of factors such as individual’s physical condition and the progress of the disease, thus it is not possible to make a generalization. Due to the lack of more effective treatment program and poor treatment effect, the survival time is often only 1-2 years. In certain untreated cholangiocellular carcinoma, the survival time is even only 3-4 months after clinical symptoms appear. The 5-year survival rate of cholangiocellular carcinoma is less than 1% when it is advanced. In early stage cholangiocellular carcinoma, after taking active treatment measures, the 5-year survival rate may reach 20%-30%. While advanced cholangiocellular carcinoma, which cannot be treated with radical surgery, has a 5-year survival rate of less than 1%, but through palliative surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., the life of the patient can also be prolonged and the quality of survival can be improved. If you have unexplained right upper abdominal pain, shoulder and back pain, dyspepsia, abdominal distension, jaundice and other symptoms, you must consult a doctor in time. Start standardized treatment as soon as possible after identifying the cause of the disease.
