Liver Fluke Induces Cholangiocarcinoma (original) (raw)
Figure 3
Incidence of CCA and O. viverrini in Thailand from 1990–2001
Increasing intensity of red represents increasing prevalence of O. viverrini, while increasing number of dots represents increasing cancer rates. In general, higher O. viverrini prevalence correlates with a higher CCA burden, although sporadic anthelmintic therapy has influenced this relationship. It should be noted that even one spot represents significant cancer rates anywhere else in the world. *Truncated age-standardised incidence from 35–64 years. **Age-standardised incidence of CCA throughout registered regions.
