Opisthorchis felineus infection and cholangiocarcinoma in the Russian Federation: A review of medical statistics

This study documents the importance of opisthorchiasis in certain endemic areas and presents the best available data on associations between O. felineus infection and liver/intrahepatic bile duct cancers in RF. The findings support the need to implement a public health control programme against liver fluke infections and to increase the availability of anthelmintic treatment. Further studies are warranted to assess the contribution of opisthorchiasis to the CCA in RF. Graphical abstract (Source: Parasitology International)
