The level of agreement between rapid-on-site evaluation of endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspirate and surgical histological diagnosis in gastrointestinal lesions

摘要

Objective Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is the main tool for biopsy via fine needle aspiration (FNA) from gastrointestinal (GI) lesions including pancreatic, upper gastrointestinal, and adjacent lesions. The variable diagnostic yield and delay until the final pathological results can affect treatment planning and cause patient anxiety. We aimed to assess the agreement of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of EUS-FNA with the surgical histological diagnosis of patients who underwent resection.
