Cholangiocarcinoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Cholangiocarcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the cells of the bile ducts, the small tubes that carry bile from the liver to the intestine. It can arise within the liver or in the ducts located outside of it.
Possible manifestations:
- Yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes
- Itching, dark urine, or pale stools
- Abdominal pain and unexplained weight loss
When to seek care? It's a good idea to consult when jaundice appears, abdominal discomfort that does not ease, or persistent changes in digestion.
Which specialists treat it? The gastroenterologist evaluates problems of the liver and bile ducts, while the oncologist focuses on managing the tumor process. In the case of symptoms that do not go away, seeing a professional in time helps clarify their origin.
