SWOT Analysis

Strength: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) has diagnostic tests that help confirm a diagnosis such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) which produces detailed images of the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts without using radiation. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) also helps in diagnosing PSC by examining the bile ducts and detects abnormalities. Blood tests can detect elevated levels of liver enzymes indicating potential liver damage.

Weakness: There is no known cure for PSC and existing treatment options only help manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Liver transplantation may be the only treatment option for patients with end stage liver diseases. Recurrence of PSC in the transplanted liver is also a concern. Risk of developing colorectal cancer is also a weakness as nearly one third of PSC patients develop it.

Opportunity: Development of new drug therapies targeting specific pathways involved in PSC can help treat the underlying disease process. Combination drug therapies involving immunomodulator drugs, anti-fibrotics and immunosuppressants hold promise. Advances in surgical techniques and post transplantation care can increase eligibility for and success of liver transplantation in PSC patients.

Threats: Symptoms of PSC often overlap with other liver conditions making diagnosis difficult. Compliance to lifelong medications is a challenge post transplantation. Risk of surgical complications and organ rejection during and after transplantation pose threats.
