Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a valuable tool for diagnosing pancreatic cystic lesions, but its effectiveness in identifying malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) has been uncertain.
- A study involving 246 patients from 2018 to 2022 assessed the improvement EUS offers over CT and MRI for diagnosing malignant IPMN using statistical analysis.
- Results showed EUS significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy, especially in detecting nodules and uneven wall thickening, with a combined evaluation of specific features yielding the highest diagnostic performance.
