[WorldCCADay @WorldCCADay]

Surgery is currently the only curative treatment for #cca but often diagnosis comes too late for surgery to be an option.

There is an urgent need to raise awareness this #WorldCCADay to support early diagnosis and to improve outcomes for patients.

#RecognizeCCA

[PSC Support @PSCSupportUK]

#Bileductcancer (#CCA) is hard to spot. Why? Because it hides behind the symptoms of PSC. By investing in a diverse range of projects, from 3D bile ducts to the #AspPSC clinical trial, we're working to give the #PSCcommunity better outcomes.

Raise awareness of #cholangiocarcinoma (#CCA) and #RecognizeCCA this #WorldCCADay!

CCA often has no obvious early symptoms, making diagnosis difficult. Surgery is the only curative option, but many are diagnosed too late.

We urgently need earlier diagnosis to improve outcomes.

Our next STSM highlight: meet Jan Caira👋, PhD student from iMed (Lisbon) who joined Prof Jesús Banales’ group in San Sebastián.

Her project explored the pharmacological activation of ferroptosis as a way to eliminate cholangiocarcinoma — from bioinformatics to in vitro assays.

🧪New platinum derivatives "Aurkine 16 and 18"
@JHepatology @JesusMBanales @PrecisionBTCnet

✅Selectively target DNA in cancer cells
✅Both naïve and cisplatin-resistant CCA
✅Greater efficacy than cisplatin
✅No evident systemic toxicity

❗️Potential to be a breakthrough, looking forward to clinical trials!
