What is a cancer of the bile duct?

Bile duct cancer, also known as cholangiocarcinoma, is a tumor that develops in the epithelial cells of the bile ducts, which are small tubes connecting the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. These ducts play a key role in the digestive system by transporting bile, which helps digest fats.
This type of cancer occurs when cells in the bile ducts begin to grow abnormally and uncontrollably. Over time, these cancer cells can invade nearby tissues or organs and may eventually spread to other parts of the body.

 Early diagnosis and timely treatment can make a significant difference in outcomes.

Symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma

As a general rule, bile duct cancer does not cause symptoms at an early stage. Once you have symptoms, they include:

If you notice any symptoms, please don't wait or ignore it, because seeing a doctor right away can make a huge difference. Early treatment gives you the best chance of managing bile duct cancer effectively.

Types of bile duct cancers

Here is a small table for you to learn the differences between each type of bile duct cancer for better understanding:

Typemeaning
Cancers of the intrahepatic bile ductsThese cancers occur in the smallest tubes of the bile ducts inside the liver. Sometimes they are confused with cancers that originate in liver cells, and they are often treated in the same way.
Cancers of the perihilar tractThis type of cancer appears in the hilum, where the right and left hepatic ducts are located. These cancers are associated with cancers of the distal bile ducts.
Cancers of the distal bile ductsThese cancers are found further down the bile ducts, closer to the small intestine. They are tumors of the extrahepatic biliary tract, like perihilar cancers, since they originate outside the liver.

Treatment options of bile duct cancer in Turkey

Each treatment plan is carefully personalized, and you will receive continuous support from a dedicated medical team throughout the process. From your arrival and diagnostics to your recovery and return home, our team is committed to your care, comfort, and well-being.
Your treatment plan may include one or a combination of the following options:

Surgical removal of the tumor

Name of the surgeryWhat is it?
Biliary resectionRemoval of the part of the bile duct affected by the cancer.
Partial hepatectomy Removal of part of the liver affected by the tumor.
CholangiopancreatectomyRemoval of part of the bile duct and pancreas if the tumor affects both structures.
Whipple surgeryA complex surgical procedure involving the removal of part of the bile duct, the gallbladder, part of the pancreas, and the first segment of the small intestine.

Chemotherapy to destroy cancer cells

Chemotherapy is the Intravenous administration of drugs that work to destroy cancer cells.
