"Early detection of bile duct cancer presents significant challenges, as symptoms typically manifest only in advanced stages," explains Lokesh Bathla, M.D. FACS of Texas Oncology Surgical Specialists–San Antonio Medical Center and San Antonio Northeast. While no definitive prevention methods exist, Dr. Bathla emphasizes that maintaining overall health, moderating alcohol consumption, and eliminating tobacco use can significantly reduce risk factors. Being attentive to your body's signals and seeking prompt medical attention when concerns arise is crucial.

Dozens of Texas Oncology physicians, leadership, and team members visited the capitol for Texas Oncology Advocacy Day last week to engage with lawmakers and advocate for the needs and rights of cancer patients. Through meaningful conversations, our team championed advancements in cancer research, preventative screenings, access to quality treatment and leading-edge therapies, and policies that support community-based care for patients and their families. We shared our support for bills that restrict industry tactics that delay care, expand prostate cancer screening coverage, enhance patient quality of life and wellbeing, and address emerging issues such as AI regulation. Together, we strive to foster a future where every person battling cancer receives the support and care they deserve.?#TexasOncology
