Abstract

Cholangiocarcinoma is a serious but common complication of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) that is often difficult to diagnose. The aim of this study was to conduct an evidence based radiology review of the diagnostic modalities used to identify cholangiocarcinoma in patients with PSC. A systematic review of the current best evidence was carried out and a diagnostic algorithm for cholangiocarcinoma in PSC is proposed.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
