01 Dec 2022

In unselected patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), yearly surveillance with carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and magnetic resonance imaging including cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) does not seem to increase the chances of detecting cancer early, a new study has found.
