A member asked:
Is there a connection between cancer and bile duct dilation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Biliary duct dilatation at different levels can result from obstruction caused by cancer in the pancreas, biliary duct, liver, or regional lymph nodes. Dilatation does not cause the cancer, though, it is the opposite. See?
