Answer
We recognize that there are particular challenges for a number of different populations, particularly for people living in the most deprived areas of the country, and that this impacts incidence and mortality rates, including for those with cholangiocarcinoma.
To improve early intervention and reduce mortality rates, NHS England’s Help Us, Help You campaigns seek to address the barriers that are deterring patients from accessing the care they need. The current Help Us, Help You campaign is focused on addressing symptoms of abdominal and urological cancers, which includes cholangiocarcinoma.
