Hepato-Biliary Cancer Doctor in Kolkata
Hepato-biliary cancer includes a group of cancers that originate in the liver, bile ducts, and gallbladder. These organs work together in the digestive system, and cancer in any of them can significantly impact digestion and overall health. These cancers often remain undetected until advanced stages due to unspecified symptoms.
Types of Hepato-Biliary Cancer
Hepatocellular Cancer
A primary cancer of the liver cells that develops in hepatocytes and is often linked to chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis.
