Quality Of Life in Patients With Malignant Biliary Obstruction

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

You may have symptoms like itching, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, fevers and chills. The treatment you will receive to relieve the blockage is also intended to relieve symptoms and improve your quality of life. The purpose of this study is to find out if relieving the blockage in your bile duct improves your quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

Malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) may arise in patients with cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, primary gallbladder carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, or metastatic disease to the liver or portal lymph nodes. MBO is often accompanied by significant symptoms that may result in impairment of health-related quality of life (HRQL), including pruritus, fever, nutritional deficits, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and fatigue. Approaches to the relief of MBO include surgical bypass and/or resection, percutaneous drainage with or without biliary stenting, or endoscopic stenting. The non surgical procedures may be done prior to attempted curative resection or for palliation in individuals with unresectable or recurrent disease. ;
