Pain in the upper right abdomen that may radiate to the back

Exams and Tests
Tests that show a tumor or blockage in the bile duct:
Abdominal CT scan
Abdominal ultrasound
CT scan-directed biopsy
Cytology
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTCA)
Blood tests that show abnormal function:
Liver function tests (especially bilirubin)
Treatment:
The goal is to treat the cancer and the blockage it causes. When possible, surgery to remove the tumor is the treatment of choice and may result in a cure.
Chemotherapy or radiation may be given after surgery to decrease the risk of the cancer returning.
Endoscopic therapy or surgery can clear blockages in the biliary ducts and relieve jaundice in patients when the tumor cannot be removed.
For patients with cancer that cannot be removed, radiation therapy may be beneficial. Chemotherapy may be added to radiation therapy or used when the tumor has spread.
