Re: ERCP brushings - atypical cells

[Guest guest]

Dear ;

I don't know exactly what " atypical cells " were seen, but you should

certainly request the full cytological report(s) in writing, and an

explanation of the report(s) directly from your hepatologist.

If the cytology report(s) suggest dysplasia (and I truly hope that

they do not) then I would urge you to make an appointment to see Dr.

Greg Gores at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. He's probably the leading

world expert on detecting cholangiocarcinoma early, and treating it

successfully, if found early.

Please keep us posted, and feel free to ask questions about the

cytology reports if you need assistance in trying to interpret them.

Regrettably, I don't think anyone could properly interpret what is

meant by " atypical cells " at the moment.

Best regards,
