    Hi Bob,

    Bob…the medical committees I belong to do not include Ampullary Adenocarcinoma in clinical trials for Cholangiocarcinoma patients; I have been told that it is a separate cancer.
    Having said that, dear Bob, you are welcome to join in. I am however concerned about you reading information not pertaining to your particular cancer as well as that some postings may be disturbing to read.
    Hugs,
    Marion

    Hi,
    In the New classification of bile duct cancer, Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AA)is not belonging to CCA.
    But as recent as a couple months ago,when I read about CCA, AAis still mentioned together in the articles of treating CCA.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22488652

    I do not see AA will have a large population to support a separated web site on its own. The treatment plans of AA are more or less the same as CCA but your chance of survival is better than those,like me for example,for a longer period.
    God bless.

    The end of May this year I had a PPPD Whipple procedure for Ampullary Adenocarcinoma which I was told was a CC, but was then told it was not a CC, but then read that it is classed as a CC. So asking if I’m in the correct place?
