What is Bile Duct Cancer?
Bile duct cancer arises when malignant cells form in the bile ducts. It is often classified based on its location:
-
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma – within the liver
-
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma – near the liver hilum
-
Distal cholangiocarcinoma – closer to the small intestine
Early diagnosis is key, and our specialists use advanced imaging, biopsy, and tumor marker analysis to detect the disease accurately.
Common Causes and Risk Factors for Bile Duct Cancer:
-
Chronic bile duct inflammation or infections
-
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)
-
Liver flukes (parasitic infection)
-
Hepatitis B or C infection
-
Cirrhosis or chronic liver disease
-
Family history or genetic predisposition
-
Exposure to toxins or chemicals
Bile Duct Cancer Treatment Options at Paras Hospital, Srinagar
Our specialists offer both curative and palliative treatments depending on the cancer stage, type, and overall patient health. Options include:
Surgical Resection
Surgical removal of the tumor is the most effective curative option in early stages. Our hepatobiliary surgeons perform precision resections, including bile duct excision, liver resection, or Whipple procedure where required.
Liver Transplant (In Select Cases)
For patients with localized tumors and underlying liver disease, transplant may be considered under strict selection criteria.
Chemotherapy
We use systemic chemotherapy protocols like Gemcitabine + Cisplatin to shrink tumors, manage advanced stages, or as adjuvant therapy post-surgery.
Radiation Therapy
External beam or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) may be used to target residual tumor cells and improve survival.
Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy
In eligible patients, advanced options like FGFR inhibitors or immune checkpoint inhibitors are available through personalized medicine programs.
Palliative Procedures
For advanced or unresectable cases, we offer biliary stenting, pain management, and nutritional support to improve quality of life.
