MSI-high was present in 4 of 126 (3.2%) biliary tract cancers (Table 3)⇓, and MSI-low was present in 1 of 126 (0.8%) biliary tract cancers without HNPCC. [clincancerres.aacrjournals.org]

Most patients are asymptomatic until the disease is advanced but presenting symptoms include abdominal pain (usually in the upper right quadrant), nausea, vomiting, jaundice, anorexia and weight loss. [orpha.net]

• Abdominal Pain

  Other symptoms may include: • Abdominal pain; Fever, nausea and vomiting; • Bloating; • Anorexia; and • Bloating. ICD-9: 156.00 PROGRESSION Cholangiocarcinoma generally causes progressive liver failure. [secure.ssa.gov]

  Symptoms can include Jaundice Itchy skin Fever Abdominal pain Tests to diagnose bile duct cancer may include a physical exam, imaging tests of the liver and bile ducts, blood tests, and a biopsy. [medlineplus.gov]

  When to see a doctor See your doctor if you have persistent fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, or other signs and symptoms that bother you. [mayoclinic.org]

  Symptomatic gallstones typically manifest with right upper quadrant abdominal pain, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

  Signs & Symptoms These are signs and symptoms of bile duct cancer: Yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, also called jaundice Dark-colored urine Clay-colored stool Pain in the abdomen Fever Itchy skin Nausea and vomiting Weight loss for an unknown [healthcare.utah.edu]

• Abdominal Mass

  Suspect cancer if patients have an unexplained extrahepatic biliary obstruction or abdominal mass. Diagnose cancers by imaging, beginning with ultrasonography, followed by CT cholangiography or MRCP. [msdmanuals.com]

  Enlarged abdominal mass: As the tumor grows and interferes with nearby organs, it can cause a visible mass. Abdominal pain and/or bloating can occur in advanced stages of bile duct cancer. [mdanderson.org]

  […] pain or mass or jaundice (if mass is near porta hepatis) US appearance: cystic mass w multiple septa and papillary excrescences (mass may show variations in this pattern and present as unilocular, calcified or multiple) May be associated with dilation [quizlet.com]

  Patients with small gallbladder tumors may present with symptoms suggesting cholecystitis (e.g., abdominal pain, fever), whereas larger tumors may manifest late with jaundice and an abdominal mass. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

A gallbladder mass may occasionally be found during workup of suspected benign biliary disease ( Figure 1 ) ( 1, 3 ). [cco.amegroups.com]

Biliary Tract and Gallbladder Cancer: Diagnosis and Therapy is a comprehensive and definitive discussion of all aspects of the treatment of malignant tumors of the gallbladder and biliary tract. [books.google.com]

Survival for gallbladder cancer In the UK, no national statistics are available for the different stages of gallbladder cancer or for the different treatments that people have had. [cancerresearchuk.org]

Conclusions Hepatic resection is not essential for curative treatment in T2 GBC, and more systemic treatments are needed for GBC patients, particularly for those with T2b GBC. [wjso.biomedcentral.com]

In the near future, new innovative treatments might be the best way to improve the prognosis in these cancers. Media title: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CANCER [idibgi.org]

Their morphology ranges from papillary, which has the most favorable prognosis, to infiltrative, which has the worst prognosis. The lack of a mucosal muscularis layer allows the early spread of these cancers, both loco-regionally and systemically. [touchoncology.com]

Once invasive carcinoma develops, prognosis is related to the stage of the invasive component and other conventional prognostic factors. [1] Some of the reports have revealed a very poor prognosis in patients with lymph node metastasis [27]. [ijhpd.com]

Prognosis As GBC is often detected only at an advanced disease stage, the prognosis is poor with 5-year survival rates of approximately 20%. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Etiology The exact etiology is unknown. Genetic susceptibility elicited by chronic inflammation of the gallbladder leading to dysplasia and malignant change is one possibility. [orpha.net]

Although many etiological factors have been characterized, the cause of carcinomas of the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts remains speculative in most cases. [karger.com]

Bile duct dilatation can be due to several etiologies. [radiopaedia.org]

Pathophysiology Gallbladder cancer arises in the setting of chronic inflammation. In the vast majority of patients (>75%), the source of this chronic inflammation is cholesterol gallstones. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention There's no way to prevent cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). But you may reduce your risk of the disease if you: Stop smoking. Smoking is linked to an increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma. If you smoke, stop. [mayoclinic.org]

ERCP, short for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, is an endoscopic procedure that can remove gallstones or prevent blockages by widening parts of the bile duct where gallstones frequently get stuck. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention & Screening Many cancers can be prevented with lifestyle changes and regular screening. Counseling MD Anderson has licensed social workers to help patients and their loved ones cope with cancer. [mdanderson.org]
