Cholangiocarcinoma

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer that starts in the bile ducts, the tubes that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder to the bowel. It may cause yellowing of the skin and eyes, itching, pain and weight loss, and is often found at a late stage. Treatment can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, procedures to unblock the ducts, and targeted therapies guided by tumour genetic testing.
