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. Bile duct cancer occurs when the cells that line the bile ducts become abnormal and grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. Key risk factors for developing bile duct cancer include primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), an inflammatory bowel disease, liver flukes, and certain congenital abnormalities of the bile ducts. Symptoms may include jaundice, itching, abdominal pain, weight loss, and pale stools. Diagnosis usually involves imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI scans, as well as biopsy. Treatment options depend on the stage of cancer and include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. However, bile duct cancer has a poor prognosis with low survival rates due to difficulties in early detection and slow growth nature of the tumors.

Market Dynamics:

Global bile duct cancer market growth is primarily driven by increasing prevalence of risk factors such as PSC and liver flukes infections. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), PSC affects around 30,000 people in the U.S. Insufficient understanding and delays in diagnosing bile duct cancer also contribute to late-stage diagnosis, thus, driving the market growth. Moreover, rising research funding towards targeted drug development for improving the bile duct cancer treatment outcomes can offer  lucrative opportunities for market players. However, low disease awareness and complexity in surgical procedures can hamper the market growth.
