amylase activity in bile
pancreaticobiliary ductal maljunction
gallbladder cancer
To roughly estimate the incidence of pancreaticobiliary ductal maljunction (PBM) in the Niigata district, a high risk area for biliary tract cancer, amylase activity in gallbladder bile was determined in patients with biliary diseases. High amylase activity exceeding 25 times the upper limit of serum amylase (at which level the possibility of PBM increases) was detected in 3.7% of the patients. This value was not different from those reported from other parts of Japan (Nagasaki, a relatively high risk area and Hiroshima, a low risk area). The results suggest that in the relative high occurrence of biliary tract cancer in the Niigata district, PBM does not play an important role. However, a prospective collaborative study between different risk zones is mandatory before a definite conclusion can be reached. For the present, parallel to the study on PBM, multiple factors including environmental pollution should be investigated to elucidate circumstances surrounding the high occurrence of biliary tract cancer.
