How to prevent bile duct cancer scientifically

Many times, people are still afraid to see a doctor for their illness, but this also delays some illnesses. However, even if some diseases are actively treated, they are difficult to treat and often cannot achieve the ideal treatment effect. This is the case with cholangitis, which is called the "king of cancer". Therefore, the prevention of this type of disease is particularly important. Let's learn how to scientifically prevent bile duct cancer.

Cholangiocarcinoma refers to a malignant tumor of the extrahepatic bile duct that originates from the confluence of the left and right hepatic ducts to the lower end of the common bile duct. Prevention of biliary tumors should focus on early treatment of closely related diseases and precancerous lesions. Non-invasive B-ultrasound should be used as a basic means of screening for this disease.

The cause of bile duct cancer is still unclear, and its relationship with cholelithiasis is not as close as that with gallbladder cancer. Therefore, there is a lack of effective methods for the primary prevention of bile duct cancer. The main methods are the prevention and treatment of hepatobiliary stones and regular systematic health checks.

Secondary prevention is the key to the prevention of this disease. Patients with obstructive jaundice should be highly alert to the possibility of bile duct cancer after excluding diseases such as cholelithiasis, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. On the basis of detailed medical history and comprehensive physical examination, B-ultrasound, CT, PTC, and ERCP examinations should be performed as soon as possible for early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment.

Maintaining a good attitude at ordinary times can be said to be the most effective medicine for preventing any disease. Therefore, maintaining a happy mental state is of great benefit in preventing diseases.
