Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer [Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital]
We provide diagnosis and treatment for pancreatic and biliary diseases using state-of-the-art advanced medical technologies.
Equipped with the latest ERCP and EUS-dedicated endoscopes.
We perform one of the highest numbers of pancreaticobiliary endoscopic examinations and treatments in Japan.
Our expertise in histological diagnosis and drainage procedures for pancreatic and biliary cancers is internationally recognized, and our specialists are frequently invited to conduct live endoscopic demonstrations worldwide.
We also have extensive experience in endoscopic tumor ablation and cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy.
English-language support is available.
When a mass lesion is identified, histological diagnosis is performed using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).
In cases where no mass is detected on endoscopic ultrasound but pancreatic cancer is still suspected, diagnostic evaluation using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is performed to differentiate carcinoma in situ.
