What is the survival rate of someone with an advanced klatskin tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small to none: This is tumor at the junction of the left & right bile ducts. Symptoms (jaundice & pain) can be relieved somewhat with stents or palliative surgery to bypass the tumor. It is very difficult to cure once diagnosed. Radiation may be of some help to control symptoms. It is usually a fatal disease, but can be slow growing.
