Abstract

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a very heterogeneous cancer, from any point of view, including epidemiology, risk factors, morphology, pathology, molecular pathology, modalities of growth and clinical features. Consistently, a bulk of medical literature is dealing with the differences between intrahepatic (IH) and extraheatic (EH) CCA in terms of epidemiology and risk factors. The topics of this chapter are the synthesis of incidence trends and risk factors, accompanied by a critical analysis of the bases of the geopidemiology and of the pathoogenetic associations of IH- and EH-CCA.
