Bile Duct Cancer Treatment in Kolkata

As a seasoned bile duct cancer surgeon in Kolkata, Dr. Ranajoy Dutta prepares each treatment plan based on tumour location and stage. After detection, he might suggest surgical resection of the tumour (with or without the liver portion).

Depending on the condition, Dr. Dutta may also recommend biliary bypass or stent placement to relieve obstruction, followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy (primarily if the cancer has spread or can’t be removed surgically).

In specific genetic subtypes, targeted therapy is effective. When curative surgery isn’t possible, palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life.

If you’re concerned about persistent jaundice or weight loss, book an appointment with Dr. Ranajoy Dutta.
