Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Pancreatic Tissue Sampling: Lesion Assessment, Needles, and Techniques.

Medicina (Kaunas)

December 2024

Department of Medicine, Diagnostic and Interventional Endoscopy of the Pancreas, The Pancreas Institute, University Hospital of Verona, 37134 Verona, Italy.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided tissue sampling includes the techniques of fine needle aspiration (FNA) and fine needle biopsy (FNB), and both procedures have revolutionized specimen collection from the gastrointestinal tract, especially from remote/inaccessible organs. EUS-FNB has replaced FNA as the procedure of choice for tissue acquisition in solid pancreatic lesions (SPLs) across various society guidelines. FNB specimens provide a larger histological tissue core (preserving tissue architecture) with fewer needle passes, and this is extremely relevant in today's era of precision and personalized molecular medicine.

Article Synopsis
  • Gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions (SELs) can be benign or malignant, and diagnosing them accurately using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is challenging, especially for smaller lesions (≤ 2 cm).
  • A retrospective study indicated that over 50% of patients with SELs of this size were diagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), highlighting the necessity of using effective EUS-FNB techniques.
  • This multicenter study aims to compare the effectiveness of two types of EUS-FNB needles (22G Fork-tip vs. 22G Franseen) in obtaining adequate tissue samples from SELs ≤ 2 cm, with different endpoints focusing on sample quality and procedural outcomes.

Background: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) has become essential for diagnosing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and is increasingly utilized for comprehensive genome profiling (CGP) to advance precision medicine. This systematic review and meta-analysis assess the feasibility and clinical utility of EUS-TA samples for CGP in PDAC.

Methods: We conducted a thorough systematic literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up to October 2023.

Optimal tissue acquisition method for pancreatic mass.

Dig Endosc

December 2024

Department of Internal Medicine and Liver Research Institute, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.

Pancreatic masses pose a diagnostic difficulty due to the technical complexities related to tissue acquisition. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided tissue acquisition has transformed the field by allowing access to pancreatic lesions through fine-needle and biopsy. However, diagnostic accuracy differs based on tumor characteristics and procedural factors.

Background/aims: Radiological imaging advancements have led to a rise in pancreatic cyst diagnoses. Apart from imaging modalities, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is an important method in the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts. The aim of this study is to determine the clinical, laboratory, biochemical, radiological, and endosonographic features of pancreatic cysts and to assess the effectiveness of EUS and computed tomography (CT) in differentiating between neoplastic and nonneoplastic cysts.
