About Bile Duct Cancer

Cancer of the bile duct, also called cholangiocarcinoma, is rare, and can start in any part of the bile duct system that connects the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. Bile ducts carry fluid made by the liver to break down fats during digestion. This cancer occurs mainly in people over the age of 70 and is classified by where it is located in relation to the liver. Intrahepatic tumors begin in bile ducts located within the liver, accounting for less than 10% of call cases. Extrahepatic bile duct cancer begins at the hilum, where the left and right hepatic ducts join together to form the common hepatic duct and leave the liver. Extrahepatic bile duct cancer includes perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (or Klatskin tumors) and hilar cholangiocarcinoma; tumors that form further down the common bile duct, closer to the small intestine, are known as distal bile duct cancer or distal cholangiocarcinoma.
