Background: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a safe procedure and extraintestinal bleeding after EUS-FNA is rare. Two cases of biliary tract bleeding after EUS-FNA was reported, but no case of biliary hemorrhage with obstructive jaundice after EUS-FNA of pancreatic head tumor has been reported. We discuss one such case, the pitfalls encountered during EUS-FNA and how they were overcome.
Case Presentation: A 78-year-old man suspected of pancreatic head cancer was introduced to our hospital for pathological examination by EUS-FNA. Because he took antithrombotic drugs, we performed EUS-FNA after withdrawal of the drugs and replacement by heparin. The next day after EUS-FNA, obstructive jaundice was suspected by hematologic examination. Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography was carried out and biliary tract bleeding was observed. We diagnosed obstructive jaundice due to hemobilia and inserted an endonasal biliary drainage tube. During the following period, the bleeding stopped and total bilirubin decreased. On the 15th hospital day, he was transferred to another hospital for pre-operative examination.
Conclusion: Biliary tract bleeding after EUS-FNA is quite rare but endosonographers must appreciate and deal appropriately with this adverse event.

In our previous phase II T1219 trial for advanced biliary tract cancer (ABTC), the combination of nivolumab with modified gemcitabine and S-1 exhibited promising efficacy, while the programmed-death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression did not predict chemoimmunotherapy efficacy. Lymphocyte-activation-gene-3 (LAG-3), a negative immune checkpoint, is frequently co-expressed with PD-L1. This study assessed the predictive value of LAG-3 expression in ABTC patients who received chemoimmunotherapy.

Background: Numerous studies have explored the role of vitamin D in various cancers; however, its impact on advanced biliary tract cancers (BTC) within a prospective cohort remains to be investigated. This preplanned subgroup analysis of the NIFTY trial evaluated the prognostic implications of serum vitamin D levels in patients with advanced BTC undergoing second-line chemotherapy.
Methods: From the 174 patients in the NIFTY trial, a total of 173 patients (99.

Given the increasing trend of cholecystectomy, it is imperative to reassess surgical and surveillance strategies in consideration of the potential long-term risks for digestive tract cancers. The objective of this study was to assess the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) and hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP) cancer incidence after cholecystectomy. The data for this cohort study was obtained from the National Health Insurance Service database in Korea.
