. Surgery: Doctors remove cancer tissue in an operation

. Chemotherapy: Using special medicines to shrink or kill the cancer. The drugs can be pills you take or medicines given in your veins, or sometimes both.

. Radiation: Using high-energy rays (similar to X-rays) to kill the cancer.

Bile Duct Cancer Surgery Cost in India

a) Partial Hepatectomy

This procedure is often used to treat large bile duct tumors inside the liver (intrahepatic tumors). It involves removing a piece of normal liver tissue, an entire lobe, or a larger part of the liver surrounding the cancer. 

Treatment :  Partial Hepatectomy
Success Rate : 90-98%
Basic Package : 8500 USD-10000 USD  (APPROX).
Total Stay in Hospital : 7-9 days.
Total Stay in India : 18-20 days

Partial hepatectomy is surgery to remove part of the liver. Only people with good liver function who are healthy enough for surgery and who have a single tumor that has not grown into blood vessels can have this operation.

b) Whipple Procedure (Pancreatoduodenectomy)

The Whipple procedure is commonly used to treat extrahepatic bile duct tumors that are near the pancreas. It is also known as a pancreatoduodenectomy. The Whipple procedure involves removing part of the bile duct, part of the stomach, part of the small intestine, and the head (the rightmost section) of the pancreas.

Total Stay in Hospital : 0 days.
Total Stay in India : 20-25 days

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is the most advanced form of 3-D conformal radiation therapy, a technique that adjusts the radiation beam to the contours of a tumor, allowing for higher, more effective doses of radiation to be delivered while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
