Excerpt

Adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer [1]. Metastatic potential is a feature, with frequent widespread dissemination and multiple synchronous visceral involvements even at diagnosis [2]. However, the frequency of manifestations related to obstructive jaundice is low [3, 4]. Obstructive jaundice with highly elevated serum concentrations of transaminase can be occasionally observed, but it is most commonly determined by diffuse liver parenchymal involvement. A few cases of extrahepatic jaundice due to abdominal lymph nodes involvement or pancreatic metastasis by lung cancer, mostly small cell type [5‐7], have been reported [3‐7]. We show here that ERCP could manage this particular clinical condition safely. …

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.
