Figure 1: Worldwide incidence of CCA.
Worldwide incidence (cases per 100,000) of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA)1,5,30. Data refer to the period 1971–2009. Green colour identifies countries with lower incidence (<6 per 100,000 cases, rare cancer), whereas pink colour indicates countries in which CCA is not a rare cancer (>6 per 100,000 cases). Diagnoses have been classified according to international classification of disease (ICD) codes (ICD-O-1, ICD-O-2, ICD-O-3, ICD-10, ICD-V9, ICD-V10, ICD-O). When available, the more incident form (intrahepatic (IH) versus extrahepatic (EH) CCA) and the temporal trend of incidence (↑increasing trend; ↕stable trend; ↓decreasing trend) have been reported.
