Background and Aim: We report our single-centre experience with endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of solid pancreatic lesions with regard to clinical utility, diagnostic ...

Previous works including our own suggest that EUS-FNA can successfully acquire tissue for interpretation in 90–95% of the cases. [1–3] This report suggests that our repeat EUS-FNA rate is about 5%, ...

The use of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is effective in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with suspected pancreatic cancer; however, data on the incidence of major ...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy seems to be safe and useful for enhancing the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration; however, further studies are needed to ...

Accuracy of Helical Computed Tomography and [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography for Identifying Lymph Node Mediastinal Metastases in Potentially Resectable Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer ...

Researchers report that endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) are 99.1 percent accurate in diagnosing pancreatic neoplasms (abnormal growths or ...

An endoscopic procedure can improve the outlook for patients with a fairly common type of pancreatic lesion that is challenging to manage and that, if left untreated, can progress to cancer, according ...

Knocking on molecular alterations in advanced gastric cancer (AGC). A phase II study of the c-Met inhibitor tivantinib (tiv) in combination with FOLFOX for the treatment of patients (pts) with ...

An endoscopic procedure can improve the outlook for patients with a fairly common type of pancreatic lesion that is challenging to manage and that, if left untreated, can progress to cancer, according ...

Preoperative endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was not associated with worse survival in patients with resected pancreatic cancer and instead pointed to “improved outcomes,” ...

Fine needle aspiration is a type of biopsy procedure. In fine needle aspiration, a thin needle is inserted into an area of abnormal-appearing tissue or body fluid. As with other types of biopsies, the ...
