Primary bile duct cancers are rare and generally aggressive
entities. Historically, this disease was managed exclusively with
surgical therapy with few long-term survivors. However, with
improvements in chemotherapeutics, targeted therapy, interventional
radiology techniques and development of alternative surgical
approaches, treatment has moved to the utilization of a
multidisciplinary care team employing multimodality treatments
which has finally led to improvement in outcomes. In this book,
Chapter One examines symptoms and the current state of medical and
surgical management of bile duct cancer, while Chapter Two
discusses the clinical aspects of care of extrahepatic biliary
cancers with an emphasis on diagnosis and management. Chapter Three
assesses the risk of bile duct cancer among beneficiaries of The
Health Insurance Society of Printing Industry (HISPI) using
diagnosis-procedure-combination (DPC) data in comparison with
general population. Chapter Four concludes with a summary of
results for chemotherapy and targeted therapies.
