| Core Tip |
The appropriate parameters for biliary biopsy [number of biliary biopsies, number of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) sessions, etc.) are unknown. In this report, fewer than 2 ERCP sessions was an independent factor influencing the positivity of the biliary biopsies. If biliary cancer is not pathologically diagnosed after the first ERCP session, other methods (Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration or choledochoscopy-guided biliary ductal biopsy) should be employed. |
