Novel targets for therapeutic or chemopreventive approaches against cholangiocarcinoma ( CCA ) are urgently needed. In this review article, we discuss the molecular aspects of CCA including the role of erbB receptor tyrosine kinases ( RTKs ), downstream signaling pathways of these erbB RTKs , inflammatory mediators during gallbladder carcinogenesis and bile acids based on our study using a mouse model for human CCA ( BK5 . erbB2 mice) as well as additional information in the literature.
