Current Clinical Practice
September 2011
Therefore, in our current clinical practice since 2003, all ERCP obtained brush specimens underwent routine or conventional cytology plus fluorescent in situ hybridization, abbreviated as FISH. Dr. Kevin Halling will speak to you about the assessment of the cytologic specimens and the use of fluorescent in situ hybridization in this patient population.
