Beyond the ruler: Measuring what truly matters in endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic cancer genomicsEndosc Int Open 2025; 13(CP):
DOI: 10.1055/a-2677-0505

We are grateful to the authors of the Letter to the Editor for their thoughtful and constructive comments regarding our recent article, “Benefits of macroscopic on-site evaluation in endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition for comprehensive genomic profiling. ” We appreciate this opportunity to respond to the points raised, which we address below.

Our study primarily aimed to identify an optimal specimen collection method for FoundationOne CDx (F1CDx) using endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA), ensuring sufficient material for comprehensive genomic profiling.
