Stents to relieve symptoms of bile duct cancer
Bile duct cancer can grow and block your bile duct. This can cause a number of symptoms and make you feel unwell. Your doctor may suggest that you have a small tube (stent) put in to clear the blockage and help you feel better.
A stent is a small flexible plastic or metal tube. Doctors use stents to open up a blockage caused by the cancer. This helps to relieve symptoms caused by the blockage.
