| Core Tip |
Indeterminate biliary strictures remain a diagnostic challenge, despite significant advances in imaging and endoscopic techniques; there remains a risk of false reassurance of absence of cancer or over-treatment of benign disease. While various guidelines have been developed to help clinicians in their diagnostic approach, these strictures need to be assessed on an individual basis and often with the help of a multi-disciplinary team. Enhanced optical modalities, possibly combined with rapid molecular analysis and the use of artificial intelligence, may lead to significant improvements in the next decade. |
