What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Intrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer?
Battling a progressive disease starts with being armed with essential information.
Intrahepatic bile duct cancer begins in the smaller bile duct branches inside the liver. Sometimes, this malignant disease is confused with cancers that occur in the liver, which medical researchers call hepatocellular carcinomas. About 5 to 10 percent of all bile duct cancers are intrahepatic, and conventional medicine often addresses them similarly to liver carcinoma.
Alternative treatment for intrahepatic bile duct cancer will depend on your age, symptoms, stage of the disease, personal health profile, and previous cancer treatments prior to New Hope Unlimited.

Signs of intrahepatic bile duct cancer often include:
- Jaundice

If you notice changes in the way you feel or how your body functions, consult a doctor as soon as possible. Do not wait for your symptoms to worsen.
