BACKGROUND: The currently accepted paradigm is that the false-positive (FP) rate for EUS-
guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) cytologic analysis of a pancreatic lesion is less …

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of a focal pancreatic mass in the setting of chronic pancreatitis
(CP) is a diagnostic challenge. The objectives of the study were to compare the diagnostic …

BACKGROUND: Preoperative diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions remains challenging
despite advancement in imaging technologies. EUS has the benefit of being a minimally …

BACKGROUND: EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) is an established tissue-acquisition
technique, with most studies concentrating on cytologic analyses of specimens, with only …

BACKGROUND: The diagnostic yield of EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) of solid pancreatic
masses is a potential benchmark for EUS-FNA quality, because the majority of EUS-FNA of …

BACKGROUND: Diagnosing pancreatic cancer by EUS-FNA is a potentially appealing
alternative to percutaneous biopsy. AIM: To compare EUS-FNA with CT or US-guided FNA …

BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to assess how the suspicious
category is followed up in a large endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration …

BACKGROUND: Detection of chromosomal abnormalities by fluorescence in situ
hybridization (FISH) analysis has not been well-studied in FNA samples of pancreatic …

BACKGROUND: EUS-guided FNA has the potential to provide diagnostic cytologic material
from pancreatic lesions that are suspicious for malignancy. OBJECTIVE: To determine the …

BACKGROUND: The factors associated with maximizing the cytological adequacy of EUS-
guided FNA (EUS-FNA) in pancreatic tumor evaluation are not well-known. OBJECTIVE: To …
