pubmed-article:20931342 | pubmed:abstractText | In patients in whom there is a suspicion of malignant biliary strictures, bile cytology via an endoscopic nasobiliary drainage tube (ENBD cytology) is often performed, in addition to aspirated bile cytology, brush cytology, and forceps biopsy, during the initial endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We aimed to reveal the significance of ENBD cytology for the pathological diagnosis of malignant biliary strictures. | lld:pubmed |
