Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has become a global pandemic. Risk of transmission may occur during endoscopy and the goal is to prevent infection among healthcare professionals while providing essential services patients. Asia was first continent have COVID-19 outbreak, this position statement Asian Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy shares our successful experience in maintaining safe high-quality practice at time when resources are limited. Sixteen experts from key...
Objectives Interventional endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) procedures are gaining popularity and the most commonly performed include EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst, biliary drainage, duct celiac plexus ablation. The aim this paper is to formulate a set practice guidelines addressing various aspects above procedures. Methods Formulation was based on best scientific evidence available. RAND/UCLA appropriateness methodology (RAM) used. Panellists recruited comprised experts in...
Abstract BACKGROUND Biliary papillomatosis (BP) is a rare disease that characterized by multiple numerous papillary adenomas in the biliary tree. The clinical features and outcome, however, are not well known. authors retrospectively analyzed their clinicopathologic long‐term follow‐up results. METHODS Between March 1995 January 2003, 58 patients were diagnosed with BP cholangioscopic histologic findings at tertiary referral center, Asan Medical Center (University of Ulsan College Medicine,...
There is a wide variation in risk factors for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) among various populations. Several studies have suggested that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may play role the development of ICC, whereas B (HBV) less clear.To determine whether HBV or HCV factor we compared baseline demographic and clinical 622 patients diagnosed between 2000 2004 with histologically confirmed ICC 2,488 healthy controls, matched 4:1 sex year birth.HBV (odds ratio [OR] 2.3, 95%...
OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical role of integrated positron emission and computed tomography (PET-CT) in patients with suspected potentially operable cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS Between October 2005 May 2007, 123 cholangiocarcinoma were enrolled this after diagnostic workup, including biliary dynamic (CT) magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) (MR) angiography. Patients overt unresectable or gallbladder cancer diagnosed via...
Clinicians might be misled in interpreting an elevated CA19-9 when differentiating pancreaticobiliary cancer from benign clinical conditions such as acute cholangitis or cholestasis, because these conditions, the concentration of may also elevated. The aims our study were to calculate new individual cutoff values for according situations using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and define strategy cancer.One hundred sixty patients with pancreatic diseases (cancer 90, disease...
A large-caliber needle such as a 19-gauge may help overcome the limitations of 22-gauge by acquiring larger amount tissue sample. However, there has been no well-designed comparative study for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) with needle. We conducted this to compare diagnostic accuracy EUS-FNA using that in patients solid pancreatic/peripancreatic mass.From March 2007 April 2008, total 117 (60 group and 57 group) mass were included. was performed standard...
We aimed to evaluate survival time and prognostic factors in patients with advanced unresectable cholangiocarcinoma who have not received surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy.A total of 1,377 patients, were diagnosed primary between 1996 2002, reviewed retrospectively according the following inclusion criteria: histologically proven adenocarcinoma arising from bile-duct epithelium, stages, no severe comorbidity that can affect time, history radiotherapy.Of cases reviewed, 330 complied...
Only a few clinical trials have been conducted in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer after failure of first-line gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. Therefore, there is no current consensus on the treatment these patients. We randomised phase II study modified FOLFIRI.3 (mFOLFIRI.3; regimen combining 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), folinic acid, and irinotecan) FOLFOX (mFOLFOX; 5-FU, oxaliplatin) regimens as second-line treatments gemcitabine-refractory cancer.The primary end point was 6-month...
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTC) is being increasingly used for patients with biliary tract diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the safety procedure, and we systematically analyzed PTC-related complications risk factors those complications.A total 364 who underwent PTC were included in study. initial diagnoses, indications PTC, that occurred during procedures, these retrospectively analyzed.The overall incidence 12.9 % percutaneous drainage (PTBD), 12.8 dilation, 6.9...
This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical usefulness of PET/CT in differentiating autoimmune pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer.To differentiate cancer, we analyzed cases 17 patients with and atypical imaging findings who underwent integrated PET/CT. The on were compared those 151 cancer.Fluorine-18 FDG uptake by pancreas found all 82% (124/151) cancer. Diffuse significantly more frequent (53% vs 3%, p < 0.001). salivary glands kidneys seen only pancreatitis, former reaching...
