Background and Aims
In patients with pancreatobiliary cancer, para-aortic lymph node (PALN) metastasis is considered to be the involvement beyond the regional lymph nodes, namely, distant metastasis. Effective methods for preoperative PALN staging, however, are not established. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic capability for PALN metastasis between EUS-FNA and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with CT (PET/CT).
Methods
We performed a prospective, nonrandomized, single-center trial. Between December 2010 and March 2014, 208 patients with pancreatobiliary cancer without apparent distant metastasis except for PALNs were assessed for study eligibility before surgery. Among them, 52 consecutive patients with PALN enlargement were enrolled in the study. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT and EUS-FNA were performed sequentially as a single combined procedure …
