What Can I Do if I Am At Risk for Bile Duct Cancer?
Doctors have little advice on how to prevent bile duct cancer. That is because most risk factors for bile duct cancer are outside your control. Bile duct cancer often develops in people with no known risk factors. Do what you can to avoid risk factors within your control, such as taking steps to quit smoking. If you have a bile duct disease such as sclerosing cholangitis, you should routinely follow up with your doctor.
