What Does ICC Stand For?
ICC stands for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that arises from the bile ducts located within the liver. It typically presents with nonspecific symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging. ICC is characterized by its complex biology and propensity for late-stage diagnosis, which often results in poor prognosis. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, but outcomes can vary significantly based on the stage at diagnosis. Ongoing research aims to improve understanding of its pathogenesis and develop more effective therapeutic strategies.
