TL;DR: I-CCA occurs at younger age and is more frequently associated with cirrhosis and with an incidental asymptomatic presentation, in contrast, most EH-CCAs are jaundiced at the diagnosis, which is cost- and time-consuming with curative surgical treatment applicable more frequently in IH- CCA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular pathology of biliary tract cancers
Giammarco Fava,Marco Marzioni,Antonio Benedetti,Shannon Glaser,Sharon DeMorrow,Heather Francis,Gianfranco Alpini +6 more
TL;DR: This review describes the scientific progress made over the past decades with regard to the understanding of the molecular processes of cholangiocarcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marco Marzioni,Gianfranco Alpini,Stefania Saccomanno,Samuele De Minicis,Shannon Glaser,Heather Francis,Luciano Trozzi,J Venter,Fiorenza Orlando,Giammarco Fava,Cinzia Candelaresi,Giampiero Macarri,Antonio Benedetti +12 more
TL;DR: The increase in opioid peptide synthesis in the course of cholestasis aims to limit the excessive growth of the biliary tree in the Course of chollestasis by the interaction with the deltaOR expressed by cholangiocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xuefeng Xia,Sharon DeMorrow,Heather Francis,Shannon Glaser,Gianfranco Alpini,Marco Marzioni,Giammarco Fava,Gene LeSage +7 more
TL;DR: Significant advances toward the understanding of the mechanisms involved in cholangiocyte-directed inflammation, biliary fibrosis, cholANGiocyte death, and cholangsiocarcinoma have unfolded over the past 15 years that may provide new hopes and schemes for treatment of these disorders.
