The aim of this review is to evaluate available literature on tumor markers in serum from patients with BDC.METHODS:
Using the search words "serum markers", "bile duct cancer", "cholangiocarcinoma", "biomarker" and "tumor marker", a search was carried out.RESULTS:
Seventy-five studies were included in the review.CONCLUSION:
CA19-9 is by far the most studied and most promising diagnostic and/or prognostic marker in BDC. But also the different mucins are interesting as new markers of BDC in serum.Palavras-chave
