Use of retrograde cholangiography in guiding radiotherapy of obstructive jaundice due to tumor

R C Dunkerley et al. Am J Gastroenterol. 1976 Sep.

Abstract

A patient with oat cell carcinoma of the lung which was responsive to radiotherapy developed jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatocholangiography (ERCP) revealed compression of the distal common bile duct. Radiotherapy to this area produced prompt and prolonged relief of the obstructive jaundice. The use of ERCP which led to significant palliation in a patient with known inoperable cancer makes this case worthy of note.
