| Core Tip |
Solid pancreatic head lesions are punctured by the push or pull method. We evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) using the push and pull methods for pancreatic head cancer. After propensity score matching (age, sex, tumor diameter, and FNA needle), 85 patients each were stratified into the push and pull groups. Patient characteristics and EUS-FNA-related factors were compared between the two groups. The pull method shortened the distance between the endoscope and the lesion and facilitated EUS-FNA of pancreatic head cancer. The push method contributed to the histological diagnosis of pancreatic head cancer using EUS-FNA specimens. |
