What is the life span with bile duct cancer and hypertension?
Patient: hi! my father in law was diagnosed with a bile duct cancer, no metastasis found.he s 71 yrs.old this oct.4, he had hypertension before but now that he is suffering from the so called bile duct cancer he s blood pressure now is 90 - 70, or 110 - 60, what perhaps is his life span... i am worried coz my husband, his son is just 1 month away Doctor: hi.noted history of bile duct cancer and hypertension. when was the last work-ups done? with regards to his life span, it is dependent on the cancer staging and/or the advancement of his disease. it is best if he consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. complete metastatic workup must also be done. diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.hope this helps.good day!!~dr.kaye
