Preoperative Histological Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms: Is Through the Needle Forceps Sampling the Answer?
Authors
Abstract
Accurate preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) is a challenge as image-guided cytology has a very low sensitivity for its diagnosis. The recent advances in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) such as needle confocal laser endomicroscopy and through the needle biopsy forceps has led to better characterization and diagnosis of the PCL. In this news and views, we discuss a prospective study that has evaluated the efficacy and safety of EUS-guided throughtheneedle biopsy sampling (EUS-TTNB) for diagnosis of PCLs.
