Abstract:
      Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common hepatobiliary cancer and its incidence has increased significantly in recent years. CCA has poor prognostic outcomes due to limited diagnosis and treatment options. The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), comprising immune cells, cytokines, and chemokines, plays a significant role in cancer progression and evasion from immune surveillance and therapeutic responses. Immunotherapeutic strategies targeting TIME offer the potential for recognition and eradication of CCA. This review discusses the cellular and molecular components of TIME in CCA and immunotherapeutic strategies targeting TIME.
