Hepatobiliary cancers refer to cancers of the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. These cancers often present late due to vague symptoms, making early detection difficult.
Symptoms may include jaundice, abdominal pain, and unexplained weight loss. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests such as CT or MRI scans and sometimes biopsy.
Treatment options depend on the location and stage of the cancer but often include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. For advanced cases, newer treatments like immunotherapy are being explored to improve outcomes.
