Bile Duct Cancer arises when abnormal cells develop in the bile ducts, disrupting the normal flow of bile from the liver to the small intestine. This rare cancer can occur in different parts of the bile duct system, presenting unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment.

Detecting Bile Duct Cancer in its early stages can be challenging due to subtle symptoms. Individuals may experience jaundice, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and itching. Advanced imaging techniques and diagnostic procedures such as MRIs, CT scans, and biopsies are crucial for an accurate diagnosis.
