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%, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Introduction: Needle biopsy of enlarged lymph nodes is an accepted method for the diagnostic workup of sarcoidosis, but the optimal endosonography-guided approach is yet to be determined. Objectives: ...

Three studies in the November issue of GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, highlighted new findings ...

INTRODUCTION Endoscopic biopsy techniques are useful in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. There is a need for randomized trials to establish where these procedures fit in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
