title: [Endoscopic examination for diagnosis of cancer of major duodenal papilla].
abstract: Endoscopic procedures were used for diagnosis and treatment of cancer of major duodenal papilla (MDP) at 31 patients. Gastroduodenoscopy (with visual assessment) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were performed at all the patients. Morphological study of tissue sampling permitted to confirm preliminary visual diagnosis only in half of patients. Detection of x-ray symptoms and bile passage disorders at retrograde cholangiopancreatography were high informative. All the patients underwent endoscopic papillosphincterotomy which was effective at 26 (83.9%) patients.
