Bile duct cancer: Surviving and coping with bile duct cancer book

By Charles Washington

Bile duct tumors located within the liver were classified with hepatocellular carcinoma as primary liver tumors. In contrast, bile duct tumors located outside of the liver were classified with gallbladder cancer as extrahepatic biliary tract tumors. The classification of bile duct tumors has changed to include intrahepatic tumors of the bile ducts and extrahepatic tumors (perihilar and distal) of the bile ducts. Approximately 50% of cholangiocarcinomas arise in the bile ducts of the perihilar region, 40% in the distal region, and 10% in the intrahepatic region.
