Routine cytology for the diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic malignancies has exceptionally poor sensitivity and has spurred a search for new technology in the evaluation of these diseases. The recent study by Kipp et al. in this issue of the Journal, compares one of these novel techniques (fluorescence in situ hybridization to standard cytology) for the detection of malignant biliary strictures. Although larger studies are indicated, the modality shows considerable promise for future clinical use.
用于诊断胆管和胰腺恶性肿瘤的常规细胞学检查敏感性极低，这促使人们寻找评估这些疾病的新技术。Kipp等人在本期《杂志》上发表的最新研究，比较了其中一种新技术（荧光原位杂交与标准细胞学检查）在检测恶性胆管狭窄方面的效果。尽管还需要更大规模的研究，但这种方法在未来临床应用中显示出了巨大的潜力。
