Validation of the Proteomic Profiling as a Diagnostic Test for Extra-hepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

The study aims to valide a proof of a concept of the proteomic profiling as a diagnostic tool for bile duct stenosis suspicious of cholangiocarcinoma. The main objective is to evaluate the addition of proteomic profiling to the conventional histological diagnosis of endo-biliary cytological sampling of biliary stenosis, compared with cytological sampling alone. With the addition of proteomic profiling to the conventional histological diagnostic technique, an overall diagnostic sensitivity of 80% is expected
