Explanation:
K = cancer

"Ampullary cancer is a rare type of cancer. It’s when cancer starts in the part of the body called the ampulla of Vater. The ampulla of Vater is a small opening where the pancreatic and bile ducts (from the liver) connect to the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum). There they ducts release their secretions into the intestines.
Ampullary cancer may also be called ampulla of Vater cancer."
