Primary cancer of the bile duct (cholangiocarcinoma [CC]) is a rare malignancy that presents many nursing challenges. This article focuses on disease presentation, treatment options, quality of life, and the nurse's unique role in caring for this patient population. Surgical resection is the only treatment modality that offers a potential cure and prolonged survival. In patients with unresectable disease, biliary bypass or nonoperative biliary drainage procedures can provide palliation. Other palliative treatment modalities include chemotherapy, radiation, and photodynamic therapy. The sudden onset, limited treatment options, and overall poor prognosis add to the challenge of caring for patients with CC.
胆管原发性癌（胆管癌[CC]）是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，带来了诸多护理挑战。本文重点关注疾病表现、治疗选择、生活质量以及护士在护理这类患者群体中的独特作用。手术切除是唯一有可能治愈并延长生存期的治疗方式。对于无法切除的疾病患者，胆管旁路手术或非手术胆管引流程序可提供姑息治疗。其他姑息治疗方式包括化疗、放疗和光动力疗法。发病突然、治疗选择有限以及总体预后不佳，增加了护理胆管癌患者的挑战。
