Background: Cholangiocarcinoma cells express and secrete insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Objective: To measure IGF-I and VEGF in bile and serum of patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and to evaluate their performance as diagnostic markers. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Inpatients at the Division of Gastroenterology, University Hospital, Ancona, Italy. Patients: 73 patients who consecutively had endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), including patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (n = 29), pancreatic cancer (n = 19), and benign biliary abnormalities (n = 25; bile duct stones, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and cholangitis). Measurements: Diagnos...
