The variables were: type of biliary stricture diagnosed by ERCP, biliary cytology and CA 19-9 levels. For the statistical analysis, descriptive statistic was used according to the type of variable. The relationship among them was performed using Pearson's chi-square and Fisher's exact probability tests, assuming the differences as significant when p
