About this condition
This cancer occurs at the ampulla of Vater, where the bile duct and pancreatic duct join and empty into the small intestine. Jaundice is often an early sign because the tumor blocks bile flow, which can actually lead to earlier detection. Surgical removal offers the best chance for cure when the cancer is caught before spreading.
