Background Adequate needle size and tissue acquisition techniques for endoscopic
ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA) need further elucidation. Moreover …

We previously identified insulin-like growth factor-II messenger ribonucleic acid-binding
protein 3 (IMP3) as a valuable marker to distinguish malignant from benign lesions in …

Methods: Patients with solid or solid-cystic lesions referred for EUS-FNA at four tertiary
hospitals from December 2017 to August 2019 were considered eligible. All lesions were …

Aim The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound
(EUS)‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA) and EUS‐guided fine‐needle biopsy …

Pancreatobiliary tract lesions are increasingly being discovered because of more sensitive
imaging modalities. Magnetic resonance imaging has identified incidental pancreatic cysts …

Background and Aims A side-port needle has been developed to improve diagnostic
accuracy by obtaining more cellular material during EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA). We …

Background: It is important to obtain representative histological samples of solid
biliopancreatic lesions without a clear indication for resection. The role of new needles in …

Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration
(FNA) or biopsy (FNB) is an indispensable diagnostic tool. Improvements in needling …

Background. Accurate diagnosis of benign and malignant lymphadenopathy is important for
determining the appropriate treatment and prognosis. This study evaluated the diagnostic …

Background Suction (S) is commonly used to improve cell acquisition during endoscopic
ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Slow-pull (SP) sampling is another …
