Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC) have rarely been studied separately. Mortality trends from these 2 neoplasms have been inconsistent over the last decades. Bertuccio et al. aimed to analyse trends in mortality from ICC and ECC in selected countries worldwide. For this, they extracted death certification data for ICC and ECC and population estimates from the World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization databases for 32 selected countries from Europe, the Americas, and Australasia over the 1995-2016 period.
