Cholangiocarcinomas (bile duct cancer)

Cholangiocarcinomas (bile duct cancer) - How to prevent?

There are no known ways to prevent most bile duct cancers. Many of the known risk factors for bile duct cancer, such as age, ethnicity, genetics and bile duct abnormalities are beyond our control. Nonetheless, there are some things you can do that might lower your risk such as:

Healthy weight management
Exercising regularly
Eating a healthy balanced diet
Quitting or do not start smoking
Avoiding excessive alcohol consumption
Avoiding exposure to known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) chemicals

It is also important to avoid infection with the hepatitis B and C viruses. Hepatitis B and/or C infection may increase the risk of developing CCA and it can lead to liver scarring (cirrhosis), liver failure and liver primary cancer. Currently, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C but appropriately initiated treatment may control or eliminate the virus. If you have chronic hepatitis, you should visit your doctors for regular surveillance with imaging tests, such as ultrasound.

When should you see a doctor?

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you.
