What harm does bile duct cancer bring

What harm does bile duct cancer bring? The emergence of diseases will cause a certain degree of harm to our health. Cancer is the most harmful disease. If it is not actively treated and controlled, it will cause death. Biliary duct cancer is a type of malignant tumor. So, what harm does bile duct cancer bring?

Cholangiocarcinoma will first cause bile duct obstruction in patients, which will lead to functional disorders of the bile duct system, and then to digestive system disorders, causing anorexia, poor appetite, and indigestion, which will lead to malnutrition, emaciation, weight loss, decreased resistance and immunity, and other problems.

The most common symptom of late-stage cholangiocarcinoma is metastasis, which is a dynamic and continuous process. First, tumor cells invade and break through tissue barriers to enter blood vessels and lymphatic vessels to form cell emboli, which then fall off and run in the blood or lymphatic vessels. Then, they adhere to the endothelial cells of the microcirculation of distant organs, stay there, and pass through the microcirculation, multiply in the parenchyma of new tissues and organs, and grow into new metastatic tumors.

1. Hematogenous metastasis: Hematogenous metastasis is mainly classified into systemic vein type, pulmonary vein type, portal vein type, pyramidal vein type and countercurrent type.

2. Implantation metastasis: Tumor cells diffusely grow in cavities, such as the thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, pericardial cavity, etc. Surgery and puncture procedures can also cause implantation metastasis.

3. Lymphatic metastasis: Lymphatic metastasis mostly follows the pattern of lymphatic trunks, namely the left and right head and neck trunks, the left and right subclavian trunks, the left and right bronchomediastinal trunks, the left and right lumbar trunks and the intestinal trunks.

The above are the hazards caused by bile duct cancer. I believe that now everyone has a better understanding of the hazards of bile duct cancer. So, after reading the above article, should you pay more attention to bile duct cancer? In life, if you have symptoms of bile duct cancer, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the best treatment time for bile duct cancer.
