Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is useful for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal submucosal tumor and pancreatic tumor and the staging of lung cancers. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness and safety of EUS-FNA in our institute.
We performed EUS-FNA for 45 lesions from April 2008 to November 2009 and evaluated the clinical impact and the complication of EUS-FNA. We could achieve specimens from all lesions, and diagnose 41 lesions finally. Two complication occurred, but we could manage conservatively.
EUS-FNA is a useful procedure that can be performed safely.
