This study evaluated endoscopic biliary drainage's efficacy in 45 pancreatic adenocarcinoma cases showing a significant decrease in bilirubin levels after drainage. Only 11% of subjects had a resectable tumor & 89% of them had an unresectable tumor. Nearly, 84% had a metallic biliary stent & 7 had a plastic biliary stent. Endoscopic biliary drainage is gold standard for relieving obstruction in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
