Article Synopsis
- CT scans are the standard for checking pancreatic cancer, but some patients can't use them due to allergies, pregnancy, or other health issues.
- This study compared endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to CT scans in assessing the stage and vascular involvement of pancreatic cancer in 50 patients, classifying vascular invasion into three types based on the relationship between the tumor and nearby vessels.
- EUS showed exceptional diagnostic performance with 100% sensitivity for staging and nearly perfect sensitivity and specificity for assessing vascular invasion, making it a promising alternative to CECT for certain patients.
