Core Tip

Core tip: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become a crucial tool for the evaluation of solid pancreatic masses. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and fine-needle biopsy (FNB) have been proven to be safe and useful tools in this setting, and can diagnose pancreatic lesions with high sensitivity and specificity. The use of rapid on-site evaluation can increase adequacy rates and diagnostic yield of EUS-guided FNA or FNB by 10%-30%.
