Diagnosis of pancreatic tumors can be problematic. This study aimed to determine the performance of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS FNA) in pancreatic malignancy when prior biopsies performed by CT guidance or ERCP were negative.
A total of 185 patients with known or suspected pancreatic masses were prospectively evaluated with EUS FNA. Before EUS FNA, all patients were evaluated with abdominal CT (61 with CT-guided biopsy) and 91 with ERCP (41 had brushings or biopsy).
EUS had greater sensitivity than CT in detecting a mass (99% vs 57%, p < 0.0001). In 58 patients with negative CT-guided biopsies, EUS FNA had 90% sensitivity for malignancy, 50% specificity for benign disease and 84% accuracy. Similarly, in 36 patients with negative ERCP tissue sampling, results for EUS FNA were 94%, 67% and 92%, respectively. Complications were mild and infrequent (0.5%).
EUS FNA of pancreatic masses safely and accurately diagnoses pancreatic malignancy when prior biopsy techniques have been unsuccessful.
胰腺肿瘤的诊断可能存在问题。本研究旨在确定当先前由CT引导或ERCP进行的活检为阴性时,内镜超声引导下细针穿刺活检(EUS-FNA)在胰腺恶性肿瘤诊断中的性能。
对185例已知或疑似胰腺肿块的患者进行前瞻性EUS-FNA评估。在进行EUS-FNA之前,所有患者均接受腹部CT检查(61例行CT引导下活检),91例行ERCP检查(41例行刷检或活检)。
EUS在检测肿块方面比CT具有更高的敏感性(99%对57%,p<0.0001)。在58例CT引导下活检为阴性的患者中,EUS-FNA对恶性肿瘤的敏感性为90%,对良性疾病的特异性为50%,准确性为84%。同样,在36例ERCP组织采样为阴性的患者中,EUS-FNA的结果分别为94%、67%和92%。并发症轻微且不常见(0.5%)。
当先前的活检技术未成功时,胰腺肿块的EUS-FNA可安全、准确地诊断胰腺恶性肿瘤。
