About Cholangiocarcinoma:
How to pronounce it? koh-LAN-jee-oh-KAR-sih-NOH-muh
What is it? Bile duct cancer, or cholangiocarcinoma, is a rare and aggressive cancer that forms in the thin tubes (bile ducts) that carry digestive fluid from the liver to the small intestine. It typically affects people over 50, often remaining undetected until advanced stages, when it causes symptoms like jaundice. Treatment often involves surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.
