The Bismuth-Corlette type describes how far a bile duct cancer at the point where the liver's ducts join has spread up the ducts, and surgeons use it to plan which part of the liver to remove.
The NCI Thesaurus defines the Bismuth-Corlette classification as a system for hilar (perihilar) cholangiocarcinoma that describes the location and extent of tumour infiltration along the bile ducts, as given in the AJCC 8th edition. Surgical series use the type to plan resection: one (Govil and colleagues, HPB 2016) notes that right-sided liver resections are preferred for type IIIb tumours and that type IV tumours, which involve the confluence, became more often resectable with left-sided resection and arterial reconstruction. It describes anatomy for surgery and is not a stage.
Most pancreatic cancers arise in the head next to the bile duct, which is why jaundice is the presenting sign; bile duct cancers are named by where along the tree they sit.
