Diagnostic journey and life impact of cholangiocarcinoma : results from surveys of patient and caregiver experiences

Aim: To understand cholangiocarcinoma symptoms, diagnosis and treatment experience from the patient and caregiver perspective, including cholangiocarcinoma's impact on daily life, quality of life (QoL) and mental health. Methods: Patients and caregivers participated in two online surveys (in partnership with the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation). Results: The patient survey data (n = 707) show a substantial impact of cholangiocarcinoma on QoL and mental health, with 34% of patients reporting symptoms consistent with moderately severe/severe depression. The caregiver survey data (n = 60) show that although caregivers experience satisfaction in their role of caring for a loved one, managing the demands of caregiving exacts a physical, mental and emotional toll. Conclusion: These surveys highlight the need for better palliative and supportive care interventions.
