Tumor of the bilious tracts...

The collaboration among the university her "Wisdom" of Rome and the university in Ancona, you/he/she has produced an important result in the diagnosis of the tumor of the bilious tracts (calangiocarcinoma), one of the tumors to higher mortality.Currently tests don't exist for the early diagnosis of this pathology, but only nonelementary instrumental investigations and radiologiche to the onset of the symptoms (the ultrasoound represents the most important test for the initial assessment; the Tc and the RMN allow a best definition of the injury; the CPRE, endoscopic retrograde colangiografia, is tender in to identify the smallest injuries but, for its invasività and for the hazard of complicanze, its role is limited). You diagnosis, therefore, mail comes in generally such an advanced stadium of illness that only possible therapy is the surgery resettiva.To verify the illness so slow, allows to operate less than the 30% of the patients and, to 5 years from the diagnosis, less than the 5% of the subjects struck by the illness are still in lifetime.This study, exclusive worth of the Italian search, has shown that the analysis of an indicative solo in the gall (IGF1 - factor of insulino-similar growth) it allows the ultimate diagnosis of colangiocarcinoma and it distinguishes her/it with indefeasible accuracy from the benign illnesses of the bilious tracts (stones, inflammations) and from the pancreas.La cancer discovery, that opens new perspectives for the early diagnosis and therefore for the therapy of the tumors of the bilious tracts, you/he/she has already deserved the publication on the prestigious American magazine, Annals of Internal Medicine, official organ of the American College of Physicians.
