This study investigates indeterminate biliary strictures. It explores the potential of using bile samples to find molecular markers linked to biliary malignancies.
The focus is to evaluate if combining bile-based omics with traditional biliary brush cytology and biopsy can improve diagnostic accuracy. This study evaluates the effectiveness of this combined approach.
- Who can participate: Adults aged 18 to 90 with indeterminate biliary strictures who have undergone ERCP with biliary biopsy or brush cytology can participate. Exclusion criteria include coagulation disorders, pregnancy, or unrelated malignancies.
- Study details: Participants will provide bile samples for molecular marker screening.
