Ampullary cancer is a rare type of cancer that begins in the Ampulla of Vater—the small area where the bile duct and pancreatic duct join and empty into the small intestine. This cancer is more common in older adults, particularly those over 70 years old, and may be more likely in people with certain inherited genetic conditions.
Many sufferers of Ampullary cancer struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Ampullary cancer. We have recently created an Ampullary cancer resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
