Vilma Pacheco Barcia: Late Diagnosis of Cholangiocarcinoma Makes Outcomes More Uncertain

Vilma Pacheco Barcia, Head of the Medical Oncology Department at Hospital Universitario La Luz, Gastrointestinal Cancer Unit at One Oncology Madrid Program, Quirónsalud, shared a post on LinkedIn:

February 19 was World Cholangiocarcinoma Day

Cholangiocarcinoma may not be among the most common cancers, but its impact on patients and families is profound.

Late diagnosis continues to shape the course of cholangiocarcinoma, making treatment more complex and outcomes more uncertain.

Standing alongside colleagues from surgery Castell Gómez José Tomas and radiation oncology Luis Leonardo Guerrero Gómez at Clinica La Luz, S. L. reminds me that caring for patients with cholangiocarcinoma is never the work of one specialty alone.

Different expertise, one shared commitment: to provide coordinated, thoughtful care, because a truly multidisciplinary approach is essential.

To patients, families, and associations working tirelessly every day: your courage, advocacy, and support make a real difference.

Multidisciplinary care and ongoing research are key to better outcomes.

Awareness matters. Earlier recognition matters. Research matters.
