P-LUM-11: Comparison of diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology or cellblock in solid lesions

摘要

Background and Objectives:Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a procedure of choice for diagnostic evaluation of endoluminal and periluminal lesions. Tissue sample can be obtained by EUS-FNA cytology or cellblock (CB). The aim of the present study is to compare diagnostic yield of EUS-FNA CB and/or cytology in the absence of on-site pathologist following a protocol-based EUS-FNA approach in solid lesions.
