Radiofrequency Ablation for Bile Duct Tumors [Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital]
We provide diagnosis and treatment for pancreaticobiliary diseases using state-of-the-art advanced medical technologies.
Equipped with the latest ERCP- and EUS-dedicated endoscopic systems.
We perform one of the highest volumes of pancreaticobiliary endoscopic examinations and treatments in Japan.
Our expertise in histological diagnosis and drainage procedures for pancreaticobiliary cancers is internationally recognized, and our specialists are frequently invited to participate in live endoscopic demonstrations.
We also have extensive experience in endoscopic tumor ablation and cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy.
English-language support is available.
Under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) guidance, bile duct tumors are identified and treated with radiofrequency ablation.
To enhance therapeutic efficacy, this procedure is combined with chemotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Repeated treatment at intervals of several months is considered to provide greater clinical benefit.
