Abstract
AbstractEndoscopic guided endobiliary radiofrequency ablation has recently been an emerging treatment for malignant biliary strictures. It can effectively delay the local progression of tumors, improve the quality of life, and prolong the survival of patients, combined with biliary stenting and systemic chemotherapy, etc, which is mainly suitable for inoperable patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and ampullary cancer. Based on the existing clinical evidence, the Chinese Society of Digestive Endoscopy, the Digestive Endoscopy Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and the National Clinical Research Center for Digestive Diseases (Shanghai) organized relevant experts to discuss the indications, contraindications, technical operation specifications and complications prevention and treatment of endoscopically guided endobiliary radiofrequency ablation. They reached consensus statements to provide references for the clinical standardized treatment of biliary malignant tumors.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
