Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Brush cytology of biliary strictures to diagnose pancreaticobiliary malignancy suffers from poor sensitivity. AIM: To improve the diagnostic yield of pancreaticobiliary brush cytology through analysis of tumour suppressor gene linked microsatellite marker loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and k-ras codon 12 mutation detection. METHODS: Twenty six patients with biliary strictures underwent endoscopic...
