What harm does bile duct cancer cause

Beautiful things always make people yearn for them, but diseases are just the opposite. People even want them to be away from it forever. This is especially true for dangerous diseases. Biliary duct cancer is such a dangerous disease that makes patients feel exhausted and extremely troubled. Let's take a look at what harm bile duct cancer can cause.

The more common serious hazards of bile duct cancer are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

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

2. Liver failure. Cholangiocarcinoma can easily lead to liver failure in patients, which is a very important reason for the death of many bile duct cancer patients.

3. Biliary fistula Biliary duct cancer often causes bile fistula in patients. This is the most common and serious complication after bile duct cancer surgery. Because there are many openings in the intrahepatic bile duct, it is sometimes difficult to properly handle, making it easy for patients to have bile fistula after surgery.

4. 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 and stay in the microcirculatory endothelial cells of distant organs, pass through the microcirculation, reproduce in the new tissue and organ substance, and grow into new metastatic tumors.

In addition, during the metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma, cancer cells can also fall directly into the body cavity and implant on the serosal surface to form implanted metastatic tumors.

5. Massive intraperitoneal hemorrhage Massive intraperitoneal hemorrhage is also a common and serious hazard of bile duct cancer and a common complication after bile duct cancer surgery. This situation often occurs in patients with combined liver lobectomy and portal vein damage during surgery.

The harm of disease is painful. We should cherish life, take precautions, and stay away from the troubles brought by disease.
