Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is characterized by tissue stiffness due to the high concentration of cancer-associated fibroblasts and extracellular matrix. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is performed to diagnose pancreatic cancer but yields false-negative results attributed to inadequate specimens. EUS-elastography is a real-time assessment method to pancreatic tissue stiffness. This study aims to investigate the correlation between diagnostic yield and the number of needle passes based on the stiffness measured by elastography.
期刊介绍:
Pancreatology is the official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP), the European Pancreatic Club (EPC) and several national societies and study groups around the world. Dedicated to the understanding and treatment of exocrine as well as endocrine pancreatic disease, this multidisciplinary periodical publishes original basic, translational and clinical pancreatic research from a range of fields including gastroenterology, oncology, surgery, pharmacology, cellular and molecular biology as well as endocrinology, immunology and epidemiology. Readers can expect to gain new insights into pancreatic physiology and into the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapeutic approaches and prognosis of pancreatic diseases. The journal features original articles, case reports, consensus guidelines and topical, cutting edge reviews, thus representing a source of valuable, novel information for clinical and basic researchers alike.
