Biliary Tract & Gallbladder Cancer

Biliary tract and gallbladder cancers are anatomically complex. Our multidisciplinary oncology council plans the sequence of surgery, chemotherapy and targeted therapy for you.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Multidisciplinary Hepatobiliary Council

Surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, interventional radiologist and pathologist jointly determine resectability and sequence.

Biliary Drainage and Stent (ERCP / PTC)

To relieve jaundice and prepare the liver, biliary drainage and stenting are performed via ERCP or PTC.

Robotic and Extended Surgery

In suitable cases, Da Vinci robotic surgery; extended hepatectomy, bile duct resection or the Whipple procedure.

Molecular Profile and Targeted Therapy

FGFR2 fusions and IDH1 mutations are investigated in molecular pathology; targeted drugs considered for eligible patients.

Interventional and Radiation Oncology

For unresectable tumors, TARE, SBRT and tumor ablation are offered alongside the TrueBeam LINAC.

World-Renowned Team and International Patient Support

High-volume hepatobiliary surgeons; a supported process for international patients with visa, transfer and interpreter help.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Transparent, guaranteed price

A quote prepared from your medical information; no extra charge for the treatments it covers.
OVERVIEW

Who it's for & conditions treated

Who is it for?
Jaundice: yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools and itching — the most typical sign, especially of perihilar and distal tumors.
Abdominal pain and fullness: dull pain, fullness and indigestion in the right upper abdomen.
Unexplained weight loss: unintentional weight loss, fatigue and reduced appetite.
Gallstones and chronic gallbladder inflammation: long-standing gallstones, chronic cholecystitis and a porcelain gallbladder increase gallbladder cancer risk.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis: this disease, which causes chronic narrowing of the bile ducts, is an important risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma.
Liver disease and parasite/infection history: chronic viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, bile duct cysts and certain liver parasites are associated with increased risk.
