World CCA Day is an international effort to raise much-needed awareness of CCA, a devastating cancer that occurs in the bile-ducts in or outside the liver. This poorly understood and under researched disease is increasing in incidence globally - we believe collaboration is the way forward.
CCA causes a number of vague symptoms, making it very difficult to diagnose, and in some cases leading people to be misdiagnosed with other less serious conditions before receiving the correct diagnosis.
After a long and difficult path to diagnosis, patients and their loved ones face the unknown: a type of cancer they have likely never heard of and know nothing about. In many cases, the cancer is already advanced, carries a poor prognosis, and offers limited treatment options, leaving them uncertain about what comes next.
This year we want to support the recognition of cholangiocarcinoma as a primary liver disease.
