TY - JOUR AU - Yoon, Seung Bae AU - Chang, Jae Hyuck PY - 2017 TI - Extracellular vesicles in bile: a game changer in the diagnosis of indeterminate biliary stenoses? JF - Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition; Vol 6, No 6 (December 26, 2017): Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - Biliary stenoses are not infrequent clinical findings in various diseases or conditions. In some situations, differentiating the cause of biliary stenosis is difficult, and it often remains indeterminate. Indeterminate biliary stenoses can lead to repeated examinations, excess spending, and a delay in diagnosis and treatment. To date, the diagnosis of biliary stenosis has been based on histologic diagnosis through endoscopy. However, conventional brush cytology and intraductal biopsy via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have low diagnostic sensitivity (1).
