Check how often bile-duct cancer happens in choledochal cysts
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how frequently cholangiocarcinoma (bile-duct cancer) occurs in people with choledochal cysts (a swelling of bile ducts). It mainly uses existing imaging records to understand risk in a hospital population.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your diagnosis of a choledochal cyst must be confirmed by a radiology report
- The imaging should show a bile-duct swelling (either inside or outside the liver)
- There should not be another clear reason for bile-duct swelling (like a gallstone, an inflamed opening of the bile duct, or a tumor)
- You should not have had an imaging test that clearly ruled out a choledochal cyst
- You must not be diagnosed only during surgery without later imaging confirmation
- Your cyst-like finding should not be another type of cyst or cystic tumor

This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and bile duct might affect bile duct widening. By comparing tissue from people with this condition to healthy donor tissue, researchers hope to find new ways to understand and treat it.
This study tests how well and safely a surgery works for treating a certain type of bile duct cyst (Todani type IVa). It aims to improve outcomes for people who need this operation for the first time.
This study follows children who have had bile duct (biliary tract) surgery to understand how their bodies change and adapt afterward. Researchers compare them with healthy children to learn what is normal and help improve care.
This study tracks how bile duct and liver cancers change during treatment, to help doctors find the best therapies for patients. It is for people who are newly diagnosed or starting a new treatment.
This trial uses a simple blood test to track how well bile duct cancer responds to treatment and to predict outcomes. It may help doctors make better decisions about surgery and other therapies.
This trial looks at when to do surgery in newborns who were diagnosed before birth with a bile duct cyst. The goal is to find the safest and most effective timing for the operation.
