Could a stomach bug fuel bile duct cancer?
NCT ID NCT06909188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find out if certain Helicobacter bacteria (like H. pylori) are more common in people with biliary tract cancer than in those with non-cancerous gallbladder issues. Researchers will test tissue samples from 250 participants, including cancer patients, people with benign gallbladder disease, and healthy liver donors. The goal is to see if these bacteria might play a role in cancer development.
