- Abstract
Distal bile duct cancer often invades the pancreas and/or duodenum. Invasion of the pancreas is defined as a T3 and that of the duodenum as a T4 tumor in the T classification of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). The aim of this study was to assess whether this T classification is rational from the viewpoint of prognostic power.
