Mutational analysis of cytocentrifugation supernatant fluid from pancreatic solid mass lesions
Diagnosis of fine-needle aspirations of pancreatic solid masses is complicated by many factors that keep its false-negative rate high. Our novel approach analyzes cell-free cytocentrifugation supernatant, currently a discarded portion of the specimen. Supernatant and cytology slides were collected from 25 patients: 11 cases with confirmed outcome [five positive (adenocarcinoma) and six negative...
متن کاملBeyond Solid Pancreatic Mass Lesions: Liver, Lymphoma, Sarcoidosis, and Others
Introduction Since Vilmann et al. published the initial report of EUS‐FNA of the pancreas in 1992, this technique has become widely used to reliably obtain specimens from lesions around the gastrointestinal tract. The major target lesions of EUS‐FNA are pancreatic masses, upper abdominal lymph nodes, and upper gastrointestinal submucosal tumors. Recently, however, the target lesions of EUS‐FNA ...
متن کاملThe effect of solid pancreatic mass lesions on pancreatic duct diameter at endoscopic ultrasound
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of solid pancreatic masses on the pancreatic duct (PD) at the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and the relationship of the location/size of a mass and PD dilation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent EUS for pancreatic indications from 2011 to 2013 at a single center were retrospectively identified. Those with biopsies that revealed adenocarcinoma or neur...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound elastography for solid pancreatic lesions
Elastography is one of technologies assisting diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions (SPL). This technology has been previously used for measuring the stiffness of various organs based on a principle of "harder the lesions, higher chance for malignancy". Two elastography techniques; strain and shear wave elastography, are available. For endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), only the former is existing. T...
متن کاملClinical utility of endoscopic ultrasound in solid pancreatic mass lesions deemed resectable by computer tomography.
CONTEXT Appropriate surgical exploration and resection of pancreatic carcinoma depends on accurate preoperative evaluation. OBJECTIVE Determine the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound in predicting the need for surgical exploration in patients with solid pancreatic masses deemed by computer tomography to be resectable without venous grafting (absence of distant metastatic disease or major vascu...
