Dr McAllister is an assistant professor and Dr Montiel is a research investigator in the Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention; Dr Guneesh S. Uberoi and Dr Angad S. Uberoi are research interns and Dr Bhutani is a professor in the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition; and Dr Maitra is a professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
It is well known that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a high mortality rate. Despite progress in understanding the biology and genetic basis of this disease, life expectancy has changed minimally in the last 50 years. This article highlights the importance of screening patients at high risk for developing pancreatic cancer and reviews current methods as well as methods in development for pancreatic cancer early detection and surveillance.

Article Synopsis
- - Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a key imaging tool for the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding areas, with EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) now the go-to method for sampling tissue from masses and lymph nodes.
- - Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) allows for extremely detailed imaging during endoscopy, achieving up to 1000-fold magnification, and has evolved into needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) which combines this technology with EUS-FNA for real-time tissue visualization.
- - Initial studies on nCLE show promising results in both animals and humans, particularly in visualizing regulatory proteins and receptors in the pancreas, indicating its potential for improving diagnostic accuracy
Unlabelled: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic women. Certain dietary factors have been associated with the risk of breast cancer recurrence, but data in Hispanic survivors is scarce.
Objective: to examine dietary patterns and diet quality in two groups of Hispanic breast cancer survivors.
Optimizing Diagnostic Yield for EUS-Guided Sampling of Solid Pancreatic Lesions: A Technical Review.
Gastroenterol Hepatol (N Y)
June 2013
Dr. Weston is an Assistant Professor and Dr. Bhutani is a Professor in the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) has a higher diagnostic accuracy for pancreatic cancer than other techniques. This article will review the current advances and considerations for optimizing diagnostic yield for EUS-guided sampling of solid pancreatic lesions. Preprocedural considerations include patient history, confirmation of appropriate indication, review of imaging, method of sedation, experience required by the endoscopist, and access to rapid on-site cytologic evaluation.
