Abstract
Biliary tract cancers mainly occur in two sites: gallbladder cancer which are adenocarcinomas and intra- and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. We conducted a retrospective study of 20 cases with biliary tract cancer in the Department of Surgery at the General Hospital in Grand-Yoff between January 2006 and October 2014. 40% of patients had gallbladder cancer, 60% of patients had common bile duct cancer. Sex ratio was 1. The average age of patients was 58.1 years. The average time to diagnosis was 3.77 months. Symptomatology was dominated by icteric syndrome and right hypochondrium pain. All patients had biological manifestation of cholestatic syndrome. Abdominal ultrasound was performed in 65% of patients, while abdominal CT scan in 85% of cases and MRI in 35% of cases. Advanced cancers were predominant in our case series (n=19). The majority of patients underwent palliative surgery. The most practiced treatment was biliary diversion (50% of patients). There was a predominance of cholangiocarcinomas. The overall operative morbidity rate was 43.75%. The overall mortality rate in our patients with biliary tract cancers of any site was 31.25%. Median survival was 4 months and a half. Biliary tract cancers have multifaceted features and can be differentiated essentially among intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder adenocarcinoma whose evolution is globally different but the prognosis is spontaneously poor.Entities:
