About
ERCP with brush cytology has a poor to moderate accuracy in unclear biliary lesions. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA) for cytology may override some of these shortcomings.
The current prospective study, performed in a tertiary University center, aims to study the feasibility, the accuracy and the clinical value of combinatory ERCP and EUS in unclear biliary lesions.
Full description
The eligible study participants with unclear biliary lesions referred for an ERCP to the Sahlgrenska Univeristy Hospital endoscopy unit will be subjected to ERCP with/without brush cytology followed by EUS with/without FNA.
The results of ERCP and EUS will be compared to the pathology report of surgical specimens in resected patients or to clinical follow up at 12 months post-EUS in non-resected patients.
