This input is used for staging

Notes

**Note:** A schema discriminator is used to discriminate for primary site C240 (extrahepatic bile ducts) for the subsite in which the tumor arose. * **Chapter 24: Gallbladder (see code 3)** Per AJCC 8th edition, the gallbladder tapers into the cystic duct * **Chapter 25: Perihilar Bile Ducts (see codes 1, 5, 6, 9)** Per AJCC 8th edition, perihilar (or proximal) cholangiocarcinomas involve the main biliary confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts and comprise 50-70% of all cases of bile ducts carcinomas * **Chapter 26: Distal Bile Ducts ( see codes 4, 7)** Per AJCC 8th edition, these tumors have their center located between the confluence of the cystic duct and common hepatic duct and the Ampulla of Vater (excluding ampullary carcinomas.)
