Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) has been shown to be efficient for diagnosis of pancreatic masses. Only with the smear method, however, its diagnostic efficacy may vary greatly depending on the level of proficiency of the cytopathologists. On the other hand, the cell block (CB) method allows cytological and/or histological evaluation with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and with immunostaining for serial sections if necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of EUS-FNA of pancreatic masses using the CB method without rapid on-site cytology.
