Abstract
Epidemiological data show that the incidence rate of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has been increasing over the past 20 years. Due to its concealment of clinical manifestations, most patients are diagnosed with CCA at a late stage. On this premise, this review not only discusses the research progress related to CCA diagnosis, but also focuses on the concept of circulating tumor cell (CTC), its evaluation value, application, and prospects for the early diagnosis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
