Core Tip	Pancreato-biliary malignancies remain a dia-g-nostic challenge despite advances in endoscopy and imaging. Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 which is the most commonly used tumor marker has not been able to complement the endoscopic techniques effectively. Bile fluid is a better representative of the pancreato-biliary malignancies and various tumor markers in bile have been described recently with advances in proteomics. Carcinoembryonic cell adhesion molecule 6, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and other novel biliary markers seem promising with high sensitivities and specificities, little affected by the presence of inflammation or the degree of biliary obstruction. These are potential future tumor markers that can complement endoscopic techniques in diag-nosing malignant biliary strictures.
