Recent 5‑year trends in biliary tract cancer survival rates: An analytical big data survey.

ABSTRACT: Biliary tract cancer (BTC), also known as cholangiocarcinoma, is a relatively rare type of cancer with a poor prognosis. Despite the combination of chemotherapy and advances in targeted therapy, which have potentially improved the prognosis of patients with BTC, research on outcomes remains inadequate.
