Treatment When symptoms are severe, standard treatment is to perform an endoscopic procedure called ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) . ERCP is a procedure for the examination or treatment of the bile duct and pancreatic duct.[iffgd.org]

Epidemiology Frequency United States Adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater is a relatively uncommon tumor that accounts for approximately 0.2% of gastrointestinal tract malignancies and approximately 7% of all periampullary carcinomas.[emedicine.medscape.com]
We used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare data (1992-2013) to conduct a population-based, case-control study. Cases (n 32,443) had primary hepatobiliary cancer.[readbyqxmd.com]
