💚 Why World Cholangiocarcinoma Day (Feb 20) Matters 💚

1️⃣ No One Fights Alone – This day reminds every patient, caregiver, and family that they are part of a global community standing together.

2️⃣ Early Detection Saves Lives – CCA is often diagnosed too late. Raising awareness helps people recognize symptoms sooner, leading to better outcomes.

3️⃣ We Need a National Center of Expertise – Patients deserve access to specialist teams, cutting-edge treatments, and multidisciplinary care in one location.

4️⃣ Faster, Better Diagnosis – Ireland lacks a structured early diagnostic pathway for gastric & HPB cancers. We must push for easier access to scans & testing.

5️⃣ Fair Access to Treatment – Too many Irish patients struggle to access EMA-approved treatments. We need equal, timely access to life-saving therapies.

6️⃣ More Research, More Hope – Funding and awareness drive clinical trials, new treatments, and better survival rates—but we need more investment.

7️⃣ Making the Invisible Visible – Most people don’t know what cholangiocarcinoma is until it’s too late. Lighting Ireland Green makes this disease impossible to ignore.

8️⃣ Honoring Those We've Lost & Those Still Fighting – This day is about remembering, supporting, and pushing for change, so no patient has to fight alone in the future.

💚 Help us make February 20 a powerful day of action! Share, engage & be part of the movement.
