What excites me is what trial results can bring for other hard-to -treat cancers. Bile duct is a very hard to treat as I understand it but also fairly rare. I am seeing this positivity in bile duct cancer treatment as a prelude to many other cancers and this result will surely cross the screens of BP. IMU can no longer fly under the radar.............now we are set and ready to fight shorters..........we will win because the science says so

How common is bile duct cancer?

Bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) is rare. About 8,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with it each year. This includes both intrahepatic (inside the liver) and extrahepatic (outside the liver) bile duct cancers. But the actual number of cases is likely to be higher, because these cancers can be hard to diagnose, and some might be misclassified as other types of cancer.

Bile duct cancer is more common in Southeast Asia, mostly because a parasitic infection that can cause bile duct cancer is much more common there.
