What Is Hepatobiliary Cancer?
Your hepatobiliary system creates, stores and disperses bile, the fluid that helps you digest food and get rid of waste. It includes your liver, gallbladder and bile ducts. Hepatobiliary cancer is the overall term for cancers that affect this system, including liver, gallbladder and bile duct cancers.
