Hepatobiliary Cancers & Hepatobiliary Tumors | Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute

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.

Hepatobiliary Cancer Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment

Screening, early detection and leading-edge treatments are all key to improving your outcome with hepatobiliary cancer. At Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute, we offer advanced options for all types of hepatobiliary system cancers.

Our tumor board — a multidisciplinary team of experts — also works together to direct your care. This group of cancer specialists includes surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic reconstruction surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, genetic counselors, medical geneticists, social workers, patient navigators and clinical trials staff. They meet weekly to discuss complex cases and determine the best course of care.
