Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) is the main method for biliary drainage in cases of suspected malignant biliary obstruction, but it carries a high risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).
- A study aimed to compare the effects of performing an endoscopic sphincterotomy before FCSEMS placement versus not performing it at all on the incidence of PEP.
- The trial included 297 patients and found no significant difference in PEP rates between those who had the sphincterotomy and those who did not, leading to the conclusion that routine sphincterotomy is not necessary before FCSEMS placement
Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the added value of blood glucose monitoring in high-risk individuals (HRIs) participating in pancreatic cancer surveillance.
Materials And Methods: High-risk individuals with a CDKN2A/p16 germline pathogenic variant participating in pancreatic cancer surveillance were included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess the relationship between new-onset diabetes (NOD) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Background And Aims: For a highly selected group of patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), liver transplantation (LT) is a treatment option. The Dutch screening protocol comprises nonregional lymph node (LN) assessment by EUS, and whenever LN metastases are identified, further LT screening is precluded. The aim of this study is to investigate the yield of EUS in patients with pCCA who are potentially eligible for LT.
