Diagnostic Approach to Biliary Strictures. [PDF]

Diagnostics (Basel)
Biliary strictures represent a narrowing of the bile ducts, leading to obstruction that may result from benign or malignant etiologies. Accurate diagnosis is crucial but challenging due to overlapping features between benign and malignant strictures. This review presents a comprehensive diagnostic approach that integrates biochemical markers, imaging ...
