My wife was diagnosed with bile duct cancer last Oct. with 3 to 6 months life expectancy left. She is on chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The treatments stopped the growth of the cancer but far from a cure. Currently investigating Car-T cell therapy for her. Just wonder if anyone has data or information on the CAR-T Cell therapy on Cholangiocarcinoma( bile duct cancer)?

Yes. They told us he has about 1 year to live. But, we are looking for something better than that. I do a lot of research and we have a great oncologist too.
To answer your question, I have read that CART-T-Cell therapy works best for blood cancers not so much solid tumors. But they are continuing to work on that for solid tumors. The most advanced treatment for bile duct cancer right now is Futibatinib. Your oncologist can help you figure out later when the chemo they are taking is no longer effective and if that treatment will work for them.
