Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to determine the best management of bile duct narrowing (stricture) due to inoperable tumors. The bile duct is a tube that carries bile formed in the liver to the small bowel to digest fats. Tumors around the bile duct can compress the duct causing pain, jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), itchy skin and fever.
Detailed Description:
This is a prospective randomized trial conducted at 4 large teaching hospitals (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Boston Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota).
Malignancy is determined by pathology. Cancer stage is determined by transabdominal imaging and/or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Written informed consent is obtained from each of the enrolled patients. The study is approved by the Institutional Review Boards at each of the participating centers.
