A member asked:
What happens if recurrent bile duct cancer has spread to the bone it is difficult to treat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very difficult: Bile duct cancers behave in a similar fashion to pancreatic cancer. When localized to the common duct and resected, the patient has a chance, especially post RT with gemcitabine. When the tumor spreads to bone Im not sure that combo chemo with any of the available monoclonal can demonstrate any effect on survival.
