  Understanding Cholangiocarcinoma: A Rare Cancer – World Cancer Day 2025 Dr Esra Hassan – Research Fellow in Cancer 4 th Feb 2025 It is World Cancer Day—a global initiative to raise awareness, improve education, and drive action on cancer. But this day also falls within Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month , a time dedicated to increasing recognition of bile duct cancer, one of the rarest and most aggressive cancers. Despite its severity, it remains under-recognised, often diagnosed too late for curative treatment. Let’s take a moment to understand cholangiocarcinoma, recognise its symptoms, and explore why early detection and research are critical. Awareness can save lives. What is Cholangiocarcinoma? Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant tumour originating in the bile ducts, the small tubes that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder to the intestines. It accounts for approximately 3% of all gastrointestinal cancers and has an incidence rate of 1-2 cases per 100,000 pe...

The Integration of artistic modalities for advancing Health care and Ageing

  The Integration of artistic modalities for advancing Health care and Ageing  Esra Hassan In an era where STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields often take centre stage in discussions about innovation and progress, the significance of the arts in healthcare and ageing can sometimes be overshadowed. Governments worldwide champion STEM education as a catalyst for technological innovation and economic growth. However, this emphasis sometimes inadvertently marginalises the arts, perpetuating a discourse that pits one against the other. The increased focus on STEM subjects has sometimes resulted in budget constraints for arts education. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), data reveals a disproportion in funding allocation, with STEM fields dominating healthcare research funding by a significant margin. Despite the role of arts in holistic healthcare, governmental funding for interdisciplinary arts-medicine projects remains scarce. This ...
