How many years can live after bile duct tumor resection is mainly decided by the patient’s physique, the nature and stage of the tumor, etc. Generally, the survival of benign tumors after choledochotomy is not affected, and it is even the same as that of normal people. The survival rate of malignant tumors after early resection can reach about 70% in 5 years. Survival rate after choledochotomy for bile duct tumors depends on patient’s physical condition, nature and stage of tumor, etc. After choledochotomy for benign tumors, the survival is usually not affected and even the same as that of normal people. If recurrent cholangitis, choledocholithiasis, or cancer may occur after surgery, it may seriously affect the survival of patients. After early surgical resection of malignant tumors and active cooperation with radiotherapy and targeted therapy, its 5-year survival rate can be up to about 70%, and the survival period of some patients may be longer. In patients with advanced malignant tumors, after surgical resection, their 5-year survival rate is less than 5%. If metastasis occurs, the survival period will be even shorter. If bile duct tumors are diagnosed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
