Endoscopic ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of pancreatic masses: A meta-analysis

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography is a novel non-invasive technique that can be used for distinguishing benign from malignant pancreatic masses. However, the studies have reported widely varied sensitivities and specificities. A meta-analysis was performed to assess the performance of EUS elastography for the differentiation of benign and malignant pancreatic masses.
