Endoscopic management of primary sclerosing cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive autoimmune hepatobiliary disease characterized by fibrotic strictures in the bile ducts, leading to chronic cholestasis and cirrhosis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a noninvasive method for evaluating the condition of the bile ducts, and has high sensitivity and specificity ...

A Case of Adenocarcinoma in situ of the Distal Common Bile Duct Diagnosed by Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy [PDF]
Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is often clinically challenging to diagnose. Even multidisciplinary approaches which include computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography are unsatisfactory in some cases ...

Limited diagnostic accuracy and clinical impact of single-operator peroral cholangioscopy for indeterminate biliary strictures [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Single-operator peroral cholangioscopy (sPOCS) is considered a valuable diagnostic modality for indeterminate biliary strictures. Nevertheless, studies show large variation in its characteristics and measures of diagnostic accuracy.

Recent advancements in image‐enhanced endoscopy in the pancreatobiliary field
Abstract Image‐enhanced endoscopy (IEE) has advanced gastrointestinal disease diagnosis and treatment. Traditional white‐light imaging has limitations in detecting all gastrointestinal diseases, prompting the development of IEE. In this review, we explore the utility of IEE, including texture and color enhancement imaging and red dichromatic imaging ...

Abstract A 79‐year‐old Japanese woman, who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy 6 months prior to presentation owing to pancreatic cancer, complained of jaundice with high fever. Computed tomography revealed proximal bile duct dilatation with complete hepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture (HJAS). We performed a single‐balloon endoscopy for biliary

Identification of a serum biomarker panel for the differential diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma and primary sclerosing cholagnitis [PDF]
The non-invasive differentiation of malignant and benign biliary disease is a clinical challenge. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein (LRG1), interleukin 6 (IL6), pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21.1)
