What is the difference between liver cancer and cholangiocarcinoma?

The time from early to late stage of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma varies and is influenced by many factors.

The progression of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a gradual process. For patients who are diagnosed early and treated promptly, it may take decades or longer to progress to late stage. However, if the disease is not treated promptly after detection, it may progress to late stage within years or years. Secondly, the patient's physical fitness also has a certain impact on the progression of the disease. Patients with good physical fitness may progress relatively slowly, whereas patients with poor physical fitness may progress faster.
