Abstract
Background: There are considerable geographic and demographic variations in the incidence of cholangiocarcinoma. Although it comprises only 10-15% of hepatobiliary neoplasms, its incidence is increasing. There are several established risk factors for CC and few are modifiable which will help in reducing the incidence. Aim: To study the epidemiology and risk factors of cholangiocarinoma at MGM Medical College, Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Material and Methods: All types of cholangiocarcinoma cases above age of 40 years admitted to Department of Surgery, MGM Medical College, Aurangabad, Maharashtra were studied for risk factors over a period of two years. Results: An incidence of cholangiocarcinoma was 0.028% in present study. Peak incidence of cholangiocarcinoma was 4th to 6th decade of life with mean age of 61.92 years. out of 25 patients 13 patients (52%) were smoker and in those 13 patients 12 (92%) were smoking for more than 10 years and 13 patients (100%) were smoking more than 10 cigarettes or bidi per day.18 patients were using chulla (72%) for cooking meals with coal as a primary fuel. Conclusion: Long term exposure to pesticides in patients, who are chronic smoker and exposed to smoke from chulla are at higher risk of developing CCA than others in this socio-economic scenario.
