Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month

Lodged by Jamie Greene Standard Motion 9 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that February 2023 is Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month; understands that cholangiocarcinoma is a rare form of cancer, found in the bile duct, which primarily affects people over 65; further understands that the American Cancer Society estimates the survival rate for cholangiocarcinoma to be just 9%, rising to 25% if caught early; encourages further public awareness of the potential symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma, including chills, dark urine, loss of appetite and jaundice, and believes that more needs to be done to raise the profile of rare cancers like cholangiocarcinoma in order to encourage further funding and research and improve outcomes for patients.
