Summary
This study looked at 200 people with suspected hilar cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer at the liver's bile duct junction. Researchers compared two biopsy methods—one using an endoscope through the mouth (EUS-FNA/B) and another using a scope through the bile duct (ERCP with or without a special camera)—to see which was more accurate and safer. The goal was to find the best way to diagnose this cancer and guide treatment.
