What is the cost of bile duct cancer treatment in India? What are its treatment options?

The bile duct cancer is a rare disease most people are unaware of and most people need surgery or a transplant to treat the disease


Surgery, chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and palliative care are the bile duct cancer treatments. It is estimated that the average cost for treatment is between 4 lakhs and 5 lakhs, depending on the hospital

.


Bile duct cancer treatment 

It is the uncontrolled growth of the human cells that causes cancer and the type of cancer formed in the bile duct is called bile duct cancer. Bile duct cancer has another name and it is cholangiocarcinoma. 


The symptoms of bile duct cancer are many. A few of the symptoms are nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, itching, jaundice, and many more.


  • Chemotherapy is done when surgery is not an option. This treatment is done to kill cancer cells and slow down the disease. 
  • Certain patients will have to go in for a liver transplant. Liver transplant does not work for all patients and the right patients need to be selected for this treatment. 
  • Surgeries are suitable for some patients and this may involve part of the removal of the bile duct and a part of the liver. 
  • If a patient is in an advanced stage, then they may have to go in for palliative care. Palliative care means symptomatic treatment for patients who are in the advanced or serious stage of the disease.  This treatment is done when no other treatments work.
  • Radiation therapy is used in conjunction with chemotherapy and  radiation therapy is also done to slow down the disease.

 

 

The cost of liver transplants is expensive.  A liver transplant costs a minimum of 21 to 22 lakhs at least.
