Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is one of major cancer in Northeast Thailand. Studies reveal tumours can induce immune response due to their altered protein products recognised as foreign bodies by the immune system. Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can be assessed to represent the mentioned immune response. Recently, TILs are a potential predictive factor of prognosis in many solid tumours; still, data researched in CCA are limited. This study aimed to assess TILs in distal cholangiocarcinoma according to The International TILs Working Group (ITWG) guideline and to correlate it with...

Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) gene fusion has been found in associated with many tumours and coold be targeted treatment. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) expression of TRK is widely used to screening this alternation. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of TRK protein detected by IHC in Thai cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and to correlate with clinicopathological and survival data. Retrospective study of CCA patients who diagnosed from January 2011 to December 2015. ...
