Biliary tract cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the bile ducts, through which bile flows, or in the gallbladder. It mainly occurs in people in their 60s and older, and it is often found when jaundice appears after a period without symptoms. The earlier it is detected, the better the outlook for treatment, so if you have risk factors, please have regular checkups.2026-06-26

The liver is a 'silent organ.' Even as damage progresses, there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage, so fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss are often dismissed as minor, and the disease is often discovered only after it has progressed to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Regular checkups are the most important way to protect liver health.2026-06-26

Liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) is a malignant tumor that develops from the cells that make up the liver. Because there are almost no symptoms in the early stage, it is often found incidentally during health checkups. Regular checkups are especially important for people with chronic liver disease caused by hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or alcohol-related liver disease. The treatment method and prognosis differ depending on each patient's condition, so please consult a medical specialist before making any decisions.2026-06-26
