Introduction - Light It Green Event 2026
On February 19, 2026, buildings across Canada were lit green for World Cholangiocarcinoma Day. Cholangio-Hepatocellular Carcinoma Canada (CHCC) partnered with the Canadian Cholangiocarcinoma Collaborative (C3) and the Manitoba Cholangiocarcinoma Community to promote this event and raise awareness about cholangiocarcinoma.

In addition, February was Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month. Canadians showed their support by lighting their homes and businesses green to spread hope for CCA patients and caregivers!

Patient & Caregiver Stories




What is Cholangiocarcinoma?
  • It is a cancer of the bile ducts.
  • There are three different types of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), based on location:
    1. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) found in bile ducts within the liver.
    2. Extrahepatic or distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) found in the part of the bile ducts outside the liver.
    3. Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) or Klatskin’s tumor where the right and left bile ducts join.
