Core Tip |
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) has become paramount in establishing a diagnosis for all suspected malignant lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Due to its increasing demand, the diagnostic yield of EUS-FNA and the length of time to determine a definitive cytological diagnosis may not be satisfactory in clinical practice. We found that EUS-FNA, when combined with the clinical evaluation of malignancy risk, was associated with a reliable level of accuracy. When prioritized for those patients with the highest clinical suspicion of cancer risk, EUS-FNA provides a shorter time to diagnosis for those patients with a higher cancer risk who can benefit from early therapy. |
