Biliary tract cancers, including gallbladder cancer, show unique epidemiological patterns with higher rates in women and specific populations. Etiology remains unclear, with known risks including genetics and gallbladder disease, while others require further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epidemiology
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Biliary tract cancers (BTC) are rare but diverse neoplasms.
  • Epidemiological data reveal distinct patterns, including higher incidence and mortality in women and specific ethnic groups.
  • Geographical variations in BTC mortality rates and trends are significant.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the descriptive epidemiology of biliary tract cancers.
  • To outline known and potential risk factors for biliary tract cancers.
  • To highlight knowledge gaps in the etiology of these rare cancers.

Summary:

  • Biliary tract cancers encompass gallbladder, extrahepatic biliary tract, and ampullary cancers.
  • Incidence and mortality rates are notably higher in women and certain populations, with geographical disparities observed.

  • Established risk factors include genetic predisposition and gallbladder disease; however, other factors like obesity and lifestyle require further research.

    • Impact:

    • Informs public health strategies for rare cancers.
    • Guides future etiological research for biliary tract cancers.
    • Contributes to a better understanding of cancer disparities.
