## Background: Controversy persists regarding primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc) as a risk factor for colorectal carcinoma in patients with chronic ulcerative colitis. small sample size and differing endpoints have contributed to variation among reported studies. this large case-control study was
The reason why 10% to 20% of all patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) develop cholangiocarcinoma (CC) remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and biochemical presentation in PSC patients with and without hepatobiliary malignancy and to look for risk factors f
The results of liver transplantation in patients with cholangiocarcinoma have been poor. It has been suggested that elevated serum CA19-9 levels predict cholangiocarcinoma in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis. We analyzed the predictive value of CAl9-9 antigen as a marker of cholangiocarc
