by With continuous advancements in technology, there has been an increase in screening and diagnosis rates for bile duct cancer. Bile duct cancer, also known as cholangiocarcinoma, begins in the bile duct. The bile duct is a tube that connects the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. It helps transport bile, which is created in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps digest fats. Bile duct cancer most commonly occurs in the part of the bile duct inside the liver or the part near where it joins the small intestine. If detected early, bile duct cancer is usually treated with surgery to remove the cancerous tissue. However, many patients are diagnosed at later stages when the cancer has already spread, limiting treatment effectiveness.
The global Bile Duct Cancer Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 271.76 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the bile duct cancer market is the rising focus on targeted therapy. Targeted therapy involves using drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells. As the understanding of molecular biology of bile duct cancer increases, targeted therapies are increasingly emerging as potential treatment options. For instance, FLT3 inhibitors such as Quizartinib are being explored for treating FLT3 mutated cholangiocarcinoma in clinical trials. The goal of targeted therapy is to block the growth and spread of cancer cells while limiting damage to normal cells. With the increasing focus on precision medicine approaches, targeted therapies are expected to play a bigger role in bile duct cancer treatment in the coming years.
