Abstract
Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a group of rare malignancies that affect the gallbladder and bile ducts. Although rare, BTC is becoming a significant public health burden in China, particularly among males and older individuals. The increasing trends in BTC incidence and mortality in China are influenced by various demographic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. In this review, we examine available epidemiological data on the incidence, mortality, prognosis, and trends of different BTC subtypes in China. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities for improving the prevention, diagnosis, and management of BTC in China, and identify areas for further research and intervention. The article aims to provide a better understanding of the epidemiological features of BTC in China and to inform public health strategies and clinical practice.
