Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile Duct Cancer)

Diagnosis

  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) – It is a nonsurgical procedure to examine, diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas using an endoscope. During an ERCP, a thin tube equipped with a tiny camera is passed down through the throat to the small intestine. It is used to examine the junction of the bile ducts connecting to the small intestine. This procedure is also used to inject a dye for further imaging.
  • Biopsy – A sample of tissue is removed from the suspicious lesion and sent to the lab for further pathological evaluation.
