Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Individuals aged 18 to 84 years at the time of obtaining consent. 2.Individuals diagnosed with biliary cancer (including intrahepatic bile duct cancer) who have undergone curative surgery for biliary cancer. 3.Individuals scheduled to receive 24 weeks of S-1 therapy within 12 weeks post-surgery as part of adjuvant chemotherapy. 4.Individuals who, after receiving sufficient explanation about the study, have given written informed consent based on their full understanding and voluntary decision to participate.

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The completion rate of S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy (completion is defined as the ratio of the actual total amount of drug administered to the planned dosage being 75% or more, and the completion rate refers to the proportion of subjects who achieved completion).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Adverse event (CTCAE) incidence rate: Collect separately for those caused by AHCC and S-1, starting from Grade 1. - Relative dose intensity of S-1 - Neutrophil count, platelet count - Tumor marker levels (CEA, CA19-9)
