Will bile duct cancer recur? Yes

Cholangiocarcinoma can recur, and the main influencing factors include: cholangiocarcinoma stage, treatment method, and the patient's physical condition.

1. Biliary duct cancer stage <br/>Early stage bile duct cancer has a low malignancy, a small tumor, and has not invaded other tissues. Timely surgical treatment is unlikely to recur. Mid- and late-stage bile duct cancer has a large tumor that has metastasized and spread, making it difficult to treat and prone to recurrence.
2. Treatment methods : After bile duct cancer is diagnosed, radical surgery should be performed as soon as possible to remove cancer cells in the body and prevent recurrence. If the tumor metastasizes, such as to the lungs, brain or other locations, surgery cannot completely remove it, and the recurrence rate is as high as 50-70%.
3. Patient's physical condition <br/>If the patient's immune system is good after surgery, the chance of recurrence is low and the patient can survive for a long time. If the patient's immune system is poor, bile duct cancer is prone to recurrence.
