Patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) often suffer from multiple coexisting symptoms throughout the course of their illness and treatment. It is possible that one symptom could be the direct or indirect cause of another symptom which could be correlated to underlying physiological or psychological mechanism (Barsevick, Whitmer, Nail, Beck, & Dudley, 2006). Dodd, Miaskowski, and Paul (2001) defined symptom cluster as the co-occurrence of two or more correlated symptoms which may have a common etiology and might have synergistic effects on individual outcomes.
