Utility of DNA Profiling From Main Pancreatic Duct Fluid by Endoscopic Ultrasound and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography to Screen for Malignant Potential
Conclusions
Endoscopic MPD fluid sampling may yield genetic data to improve diagnosis and risk stratification. In our surgical cohort, LOH was the sole predictor of invasive pathology. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of MPD fluid, when possible, is preferred because of superior safety profile.
