Most definitely, @suchita90. There are several treatment options available for people diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma. You can see them listed on Mayo Clinic's website here:
- Treatments for cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cholangiocarcinoma/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20352413
Fellow members like @kjrita @afrancesca @clarke6 @mngardenaddict @jerrydrennan @chicory2010 can share the treatments they had or you can read more in this related discussion:

Cancer specialists rarely use the words "cure permanently." Instead you may hear terms like "in remission" or "no evidence of disease."
Is your father-in-law getting chemotherapy to shrink the tumor to make surgery possible? What side effects is he experiencing from chemotherapy?
