Yes, being diagnosed with bile duct cancer can be devastating. But we’re here for you every step of the way.

Dedicated Hepatobiliary Cancer Specialists

More so than other cancers, it’s imperative that patients with bile duct cancer seek treatment at a center that has lots of experience with the disease. At Winship, we treat more cases of cholangiocarcinoma than anywhere else in the region. In fact, we’re one of the top-performing hospitals for bile duct cancer in the country. Here, every member of your care team — including your medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, surgeon and more — is an expert in not only cancer but liver and bile duct cancer specifically. You won’t find that level of expertise at community cancer centers.

Your personalized treatment plan requires an accurate and precise diagnosis. We use the most advanced diagnostic technology to understand your specific bile duct cancer. Because your cancer is unlike anyone else’s. Our pathologists specialize in diagnosing hepatobiliary cancers, so you can be assured they’re well-versed in cholangiocarcinoma.
