Infection with Helicobacter bilis but not Helicobacter hepaticus was Associated with Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Abstract: In conclusion, infection with H. bilis but neither H. Hepaticus nor S. typhi was significantly associated with ECCA, particularly with tumors located in the common bile duct.

“…The Helicobacter species, H. bilis, in the human bile duct cancer cell line, HuCCT-1, activated NF-jB activity independent of the tumor stage. This was associated with production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) [176] and was later shown in extrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC) specimens to occur especially within the common bile duct [177].…”

“…A lot of risk factors including primary sclerosing cholangitis, bile duct abnormalities, infection, metabolic disorders and genetic susceptibility have been reported to be associated with ECCA, but no specific predisposing factors have been identified up to now . ECCA is a relatively uncommon but highly malignant cancer with the incidence of 0.82/100 000 in the United States . At present, complete resection remains the most effective and only potentially curative treatment for ECCA, but most patients present with advanced unresectable disease mainly due to the lack of reliable serum biomarkers .…”

“…In spite of multiple studies on novel molecules for diagnosis in ECCA, the progress in clinical translation has so far been limited. The overall prognosis of ECCA patients is reportedly dismal with the median survival less than 24 months and once diagnosed, few cases could survive for more than 5 years . Thus, more precise markers with high sensitivity and specificity for ECCA are in urgent need which will benefit the patients and expedite the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies.…”
