What's the cost diff for an operation of a tumor in the Bile Duct
rather than a tumor in the pancreas?

Just curious..

2. But is one less extreme than the other
and if so would it be considerably cheaper?

3. BTW: I was just informed about Skinners post at the top.
My post is simply wanting to know the difference in cost between the two procedures. I'm curious.
