by Bile duct cancer, also known as cholangiocarcinoma, is a rare type of cancer that forms in the bile duct. The bile duct is a tube that connects the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. It carries bile, which helps with digestion. There are two types of bile duct cancer – intrahepatic bile duct cancer, which occurs inside the liver, and extrahepatic bile duct cancer, which occurs outside the liver. The global bile duct cancer market involves manufacturing and sales of drugs used for treating bile duct cancer. Some common bile duct cancer treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted drug therapy, chemotherapy, and stem cell transplant.
The global bile duct cancer Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 235.9 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
