Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is used primarily for cervical cytology, although it is also used for analyzing liquid samples such as urine and ascites specimens, as well as fine needle aspiration material, such as those obtained from breast and thyroid. The usefulness of the LBC method for endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) of solid pancreatic masses was recently reported. The LBC method can produce multiple pathological slides and can be applied to immunocytochemistry and genetic analyses. In this article, we review the usefulness of LBC for EUS-TA of solid pancreatic masses.
液基细胞学（LBC）主要用于宫颈细胞学检查，不过它也用于分析尿液和腹水标本等液体样本，以及细针穿刺材料，比如从乳腺和甲状腺获取的样本。最近有报道称LBC方法在实体胰腺肿块的内镜超声引导下组织获取（EUS-TA）中具有实用性。LBC方法能够制作多张病理切片，并且可应用于免疫细胞化学和基因分析。在本文中，我们综述了LBC在实体胰腺肿块EUS-TA中的实用性。
