| Core Tip |
Various radiological imaging procedures have been established as first-line modalities for detecting biliary strictures. However, a definitive diagnosis of biliary strictures can only be established by histocytological examination. At present, there are several histocytological sampling techniques such as aspiration cytology, brush cytology, aspiration needle biopsy, and forceps biopsy. However, the optimal sampling technique remains controversial. In this study, we found that transpapillary biopsy was feasible and reliable for diagnosing biliary strictures and should be performed in consideration of the stricture level, stricture length, and cancer type. |
