Definition

Biliary cancers are a group of malignancies that originate in the biliary system, which includes the gallbladder and bile ducts. These cancers can be aggressive and are often diagnosed at advanced stages due to their asymptomatic nature in the early stages. The most common types of biliary cancers are gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma.
