Pancreatic juice cytology for diagnosing invasive pancreatic carcinoma/high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia without visible tumors on endoscopic ultrasound

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with a diameter ≤10 mm and high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PanIN) require pre-operative diagnosis. Most cases present only indirect imaging findings without visible tumors on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Therefore, EUS-guided fine-needle as...

Description
Summary:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with a diameter ≤10 mm and high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PanIN) require pre-operative diagnosis. Most cases present only indirect imaging findings without visible tumors on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Therefore, EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy is not applicable. An alternative diagnostic method is pancreatic juice cytology (PJC) via endoscopic naso-pancreatic drainage (ENPD-PJC), which is not the standard practice. This study aimed to investigate ENPD-PJC for diagnosing suspected PDAC/HG-PanIN cases without visible tumors on EUS. Data of patients with suspected PDAC/HG-PanIN without visible tumors who underwent PJC were retrospectively evaluated. One PJC sample was collected during endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP-PJC), and 12 samples were collected during ENPD-PJC, 3-hourly for cytological analysis. ERP-PJC, ERP/ENPD-PJC, and ENPD-PJC positivity indicated cytologically positive samples. Patients with positive/negative PJC with follow-up for
