Core Tip	Endoscopic palliation of malignant biliary obstruction can often be challenging. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography remains the gold standard for biliary decompression. Its widespread use and high success rate, especially in expert hands, makes it an effective modality for biliary decompression. Yet, recent advances in endoscopic ultrasound guided biliary drainage have emerged from a rescue therapy to a reliable tool with high technical and clinical success rates with moderate adverse event rates. Growing evidence suggest that this can be considered as a first line option in the future. Lastly, photodynamic therapy and radiofrequency ablation of the bile duct can also optimize stent patency, palliate symptoms and prolong survival. While there are limited head to head studies, radiofrequency ablation may be a more cost effective option with lower adverse events.
