| Core Tip |
This single-center retrospective study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography in the diagnosis of pancreatic masses (PMs) and associated lymph nodes (LNs) with a defined strain ratio (SR) cutoff value in a Hispanic population. In determining if PMs were malignant, an SR cutoff value > 21.5 had a sensitivity of 94.2%, while a cutoff value > 121 had a specificity of 96.2.2%. For diagnosing LNs, an SR cutoff value > 14.0 had a sensitivity of 90.9%, while a cutoff value > 155 had a specificity of 95.2% for malignancy. The proposed SR cutoff values have high sensitivity and specificity for malignancy detection during EUS elastography. |
