How do you pronounce this??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.21.53 ( talk) 11:55, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
See this ad for a consultant surgeon's position. Surgeons may do ERCP at this hospital. [ [1]]. Where I trained, a few general surgeons did ERCP. I also know of a U.S. surgery fellowship that has a fair amount of ERCP experience. I do agree that many general surgeons do not do ERCP. There are probably quite a few gastroenterologists that don't do many or any. VK35 20:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Could use a section on history.-- Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 03:16, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
The verb to present is a rather formal/jargon verb for use in the opening paragraph of a general encyclopedia imo. Could we find a more everyday way of putting that? IceDragon64 ( talk) 13:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the removal of the section. It's at best it's the stuff of personal interest stories, not something noteworthy for an encyclopedia. Further, there's no inclusion criteria that demonstrates it is neutral in any way. -- Ronz ( talk) 17:28, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
They are not just names. That would imply that they are random names? They are people who experienced the disease. The way that a list of names of people with a disease is helpful to Wikipedia users, and in this instance specifically, is that further research can be done by the reader. It helps the reader answer questions that were not answered by the article. For instance by following the Walter Payton reference, I was able to learn that he had written a book ;Never Die Easy. Reading that book contained a narrative of how the disease affected a person in a way that cold hard medical information could not do. The book also verified and confirmed the medical information in the article-Payton's illness followed the course predicted in the article. All of the scientific and medical information in the article is interesting and may be of particular use to some readers but including examples of well-known people who were treated for the illness provides more facts that can be used to validate what the article says. Two of the people on the list, in further research, were noted as having a "long battle" with the condition, which was interesting to me since I gathered from the article that most people who were diagnosed were deceased within less than a year. -(as was Payton, officially diagnosed in May and deceased on November 1st of that same year, again the course of his illness validated much of what the article said). One died seeking treatment in Germany and this German treatment is not mentioned in the article, so the list of names is not redundant information to the topic either, and it is relevant to the topic.
Also the list (so far), presents clearly the fact that there are not any well-known survivors of the disease.
But the narrative way of documenting Payton's experience in further researching--(which was inspired because his name was listed with the article), provided an understanding, and details of the condition that could only be learned from looking at the article topic in a non-academic way. Yes a WP user could imagine how the course of an illness could go by reading the article, or reading medical references and texts, but that is not a good reason to leave out additional resources, especially resources that present the information from a real life perspective. 24.0.133.234 ( talk) 02:53, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Under the section Pathophysiology it is stated that, "A cholangiocarcinoma occurring at the junction where the left and right hepatic ducts meet to form the common bile duct may be referred to eponymously as a Klatskin tumor.[30]" Suggest this needs to be corrected as the left and right hepatic ducts meet to form the common hepatic duct. Thank you.
The information in the current version needs to be modified. O. viverrini is known from Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia and southern and central Vietnam, not from Malaysia.

C. sinensis is found in China, Taiwan, eastern Russia and northern Vietnam as well as Korea. It was previously found in Japan but no cases have been reported from this country for years.

A) Not sure what this means "a cancer of the biliary tree, for which the lifetime risk among patients with PSC is 10-15%". [1]
B) This is a primary source we should be using secondary sources per WP:MEDRS. "but studies are underway to identify novel, non-invasive predictors. [2]"
C) I do not get this as being another type of bilary tract cancer."as well as cholangiocarcinoma arising in the intrapancreatic segment of the common bile duct (which can be difficult to distinguish from primary pancreatic cancer)."
D) This source "Tabibian JH, Lindor KD. Challenges of Cholangiocarcinoma Detection in Patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. J Analytical Oncology. 2012;1(1):50-55." does not appear to be pubmed indexed? Please advice. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 04:23, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Can the epidemiology be modified to note that the highest rates of the disease are in Southeast Asia and related to consumption of raw fish ( http://worldcholangiocarcinomaday.org/the-statistics/). And link to a new page about a successful and internationally recognized program to control opishthorchiasis infection there
is there a greater or lesser chance of developing this cancer if the gall bladder has been removed? is there any connection between overactive gall bladder and this cancer? is there any connection between gall stone development and this cancer? in other words, could the bile damage the remaining ducts sufficiently to cause, or predispose one to develop, this cancer? 70.51.83.211 ( talk) 15:19, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
