Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) are aggressive cancers, with high mortality and poor survival rates. Only radical surgery offers patients some hope of cure; however, most patients are not surgical candidates because of late diagnosis secondary to relatively poor accuracy of diagnostic means.

A complex interplay between enzymes involved in extracellular matrix formation and their inhibitors is thought to control organogenesis during mammalian development. Disturbance of this balance may result in a wide range of diseases, including macular degeneration, arthritis, and tumor metastases. I
