Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 I haven't read anything that linked the occurence of Cholangiocarcinoma in PSC to UC. Actually I just looked up an abstract from Hepatology that I posted a few weeks ago, and it specifically said that IBD didn't show up as a factor in that study. Of course it was a pretty small sample, and so there may be an association, but probably not a strong one. athan Vizas wrote: > > I have a question.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2000 Report Share Posted March 31, 2000 It was my understanding from Mike's doctors that with a long history of UC came a greater possibility of Cholangiocarcinoma......

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2000 Report Share Posted March 31, 2000 Lynn, That's what our doctors have indicated to us. They are watching Phil very carefully for that. Too bad UNOS doesn't consider it. When will they wake up!!!

Like I said, this was a small study, and there may have been others which reached a different conclusion. He may have been talking about colon cancer though. (As opposed to cholangioncarcinoma, which is in the bile ducts.) I understand that is associated significantly with UC. athan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
