Overview[edit | edit source]
The incidence of cholangiocarcinoma is approximately 1-2 per 100,000 individuals in the United States. The prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma is approximately 0.01% to 0.46% per 100,000 individuals. Patients of all age groups may develop cholangiocarcinoma. Cholangiocarcinoma is more common in males than in females.
Epidemiology and Demographics[edit | edit source]
Incidence[edit | edit source]
- The incidence of cholangiocarcinoma is approximately 1-2 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.
- The highest annual incidences of cholangiocarcinoma is 5.5 cases per 100,000 people in Japan, and 7.3 cases per 100,000 people in Israel.[1]
Prevalence[edit | edit source]
- The prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma is approximately 0.01% to 0.46% per 100,000 individuals.
- The prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis may be as high as 30%, based on autopsy studies.[1][2]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate[edit | edit source]
- The mortality rate for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma among men increased from 0.17 to 0.78 per 100,000 in period of 1975-1979 to 1993-1997.[3]
- The mortality rate for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma among women, increased from 0.12 to 0.57 per 100,000 in period of 1975-1979 to 1993-1997.
Age[edit | edit source]
- Patients of all age groups may develop cholangiocarcinoma.
- The median age at the time of cholangiocarcinoma diagnosis is 70-80 years, except in patients with bile duct cystic disorders.[4]
- Bile duct cystic disorders usually develop cholangiocarcinoma much earlier, between 30 and 40 years.
Race[edit | edit source]
- Cholangiocarcinoma usually affects individuals of the American Indian, Alaska Natives and Asian and Pacific Islanders race.[5]
Gender[edit | edit source]
- Cholangiocarcinoma is more common in males than in females.[6]
Region[edit | edit source]
- The majority of cholangiocarcinoma cases are reported in North America, Asia, and Australia.[5]
