Research and clinical trials for bile duct cancer

All cancer treatments have to be fully researched before they can be used for everyone. This is so we know that they work, they are better than the treatments already available and they are safe.

Current research is looking at ways to improve the diagnosis and treatment of bile duct cancer.
