Cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma is a type of cancer that forms in bile ducts, the slender tubes that carry the digestive fluid bile. Bile ducts connect the liver to the gallbladder and to the small intestine. Cholangiocarcinoma, also known as bile duct cancer, occurs mostly in people older than age 50, though it can occur at any age.
