Introduction: Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a cancer disease which is increasing worldwide. Capsaicin (N-vanillyl-8-methyl-1-nonenamide), the most abundant pungent molecule produced by pepper plants, represents an important ingredient in spicy foods consumed throughout the world. It is well reported that capsaicin has anti-proliferative effects on various human malignancies like leukemia esophageal carcinoma, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon carcinoma and breast cancer.
