If the cancer is diagnosed in an early stage, the 5-year survival rate is 15%. If the cancer has spread to the regional lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate is 16%. If the cancer has spread to a distant part of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 2%. The 5-year survival rate for intrahepatic bile duct cancer is 9%.

If your glandular cells begin to change or grow out of control, tumors can form. Some tumors found in glandular cells are not cancerous.
