Mission of the WG:
The close association of PSC with CCA provides a unique opportunity to unravel the intricate mechanisms by which a chronic inflammatory epithelial lesion with prominent scarring progresses through dysplasia and carcinoma. Although this area has been actively investigated in the last few years, several challenges remain. This WG aims at addressing a number of issues, from the ability to detect early CCA onset in PSC to the identification of novel biomarkers with relevance in the pathophysiology sequence. The interdisciplinary collaboration including clinical and translational hepatologists, oncologists and molecular biologists provides a valuable asset for the development of proposals and published papers.
