Cancer risk in primary sclerosing cholangitis: Epidemiology, prevention, and surveillance strategies
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare cholestatic liver disease characterized by progressive fibroinflammatory destruction of the intra- and/or extrahepatic biliary ducts. While its features and disease course can be variable, most patients with

Intrahepatic bile duct strictures after human orthotopic liver transplantation - Recurrence of primary sclerosing cholangitis or unusual presentation of allograft rejection? [PDF]
One of 55 patients transplanted for sclerosing cholangitis during the cyclosporin-steroid era (March 1980-June 1986) developed intrahepatic biliary strictures in the absence of allograft rejection within the 1st year posttransplantation.
