Origin and Function of the Stroma in Cholangiocarcinoma
| Abstract | The bile duct is a tube that connects the liver to the intestines. It delivers the waste products of the liver to the gut. Cancer of the bile duct (cholangiocarcinoma) is rarely curable, has a poor survival and is increasingly common worldwide. We aim to study the role that the body’s own immune cells (such as macrophages) play in cholangiocarcinoma. There is evidence that macrophages can increase tumour cell growth in certain situations. Cholangiocarcinoma tumours are surrounded by these cells and we are trying to discover whether these may be important in the development of this cancer. We aim to investigate the relationship between the cancer cells and immune cells. This may eventually result in the development of novel treatments for this cancer. |
