| | Bile Duct Cancer |
 | | The optimal treatment for bile duct cancer is surgery. | | | Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be surprisingly effective even against the pain associated with bile duct cancer. | | | Even if the findings associated with bile duct cancer are present, other explanations, such as gallstones, are far more likely. |

| | Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography |
| | During the exam, the endoscopist can cut or stretch structures (such as the muscle leading to the bile duct) to treat the cause of the patient's symptoms. | | | When the procedure is performed to examine the bile ducts or pancreas, the organs are not viewed directly, but rather indirectly through the injection of contrast. | | | The procedure was developed in the late 1960s and is used today to perform therapeutic as well as diagnostic maneuvers. |

| | If you have a mass that can be reached with a needle, your doctor may choose to perform a fine-needle aspiration (FNA) — a procedure in which a very thin needle is inserted through your skin and into your pancreas. | | | Your throat may be sore for a time after the procedure, and you may feel bloated from the air introduced into your intestine. | | | In this test, your doctor carefully inserts a thin needle into your liver while you lie on a movable X-ray table. |

| | Gallstones - stones in the gallbladder and bile ducts |
| | The most common complication in gallbladder surgery is damage to the bile ducts, which may require additional surgery. | | | Sometimes, keyhole surgery is not possible and an "open" cholecystectomy is necessary. | | | People can live without a gallbladder, and the most common treatment for gallstone problems is surgical removal of the gallbladder, known as cholecystectomy (pronounced co-lee-sist-ect-omy). |

| | How PBC Effects the Bile Ducts |
| | Failure of bile to flow freely out of the liver appears to have a number of consequences. | | | Thirdly, failure of bile salts to get into the bile and hence the bowel may prevent the normal absorption of fat to the diet which may in turncontribute to the weight loss, loose bowels and crampy abdominal pain seen in many patients. | | | Secondly, the build-up of other toxins in the liver may lead to the typical symptoms of PBC, namely tiredness and itching. |
