Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Aspiration and Biopsy for Cytohistological Diagnosis of Gallbladder Cancer: a multicenter retrospective study
Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration and biopsy (EUS-FNAB) is a standard diagnostic procedure for pancreatic masses but not gallbladder (GB) cancer. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of EUS-FNAB for patients with suspected GB cancer (GBC). (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 389: Cyto-Histological Profile of MicroRNAs as Diagnostic Biomarkers in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinomas
This study aims to evaluate (1) the miRNAs in a series of DTCs, and their association with the presence of selected genetic mutations in order to improve diagnosis and predict the biologic behavior of DTC/PTC. (2) The reliability of molecular tests in Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (US-FNAC) for a more precise preoperative diagnosis. Material and Methods: This series includes 176 samples (98 cytology and 78 histology samples) obtained from 106 patients submitted to surgery, including 13 benign lesions (controls) and 93 DTCs (cases). The microRNA expression was assessed for miR-146b, miR-221, miR-222, and...

Advances in Diagnostic, Staging, and Restaging Evaluation of Esophageal and Gastric Cancer
The initial endoscopic and staging evaluation of esophagogastric cancers must be accurate and comprehensive in order to select the optimal therapeutic plan for the patient. Esophageal and gastric cancers (and treatment paradigms) are delineated by their proximity to the cardia (within 2 cm). The most frequent and important symptom that informs the initial staging evaluation is dysphagia, which is associated with at least cT3 or locally advanced disease. Endoscopic ultrasound is often needed if earlier stage disease is suspected, preferably in combination with endoscopic mucosal o r submucosal resection or fine-needle asp...

Outpatient care in pulmonology - a scientific analysis and a position paper of the German Society of Respiratory Medicine (DGP)
CONCLUSION: Outpatient treatment of endoscopic procedures that were previously performed inpatient is possible and necessary, and the costs calculated in this publication can form a reliable basis for appropriate reimbursement. Together with a structural quality that has been transformed to outpatient service and cross-sector cooperation, continued high-quality care for pneumological patients can be ensured.PMID:38508225 | DOI:10.1055/a-2279-7787 (Source: Pneumologie)

Comparison of ultrasound risk stratification systems for pediatric thyroid nodules
ConclusionThe ACR-TIRADS, C-TIRADS, and ATA guidelines showed high missed malignancy rates when using their original recommended FNA criteria. When nodules < 1 cm with the highest category in each RSS biopsied, the missed malignancy rate of each RSS was decreased. Decreasing the FNA thresholds for highly suspicious malignant nodules may therefore be an effective means of managing malignant thyroid nodules in pediatric patients.

The Diagnostic Approach of Benign Esophageal Tumors: A Narrative Review
AbstractPurpose of ReviewBenign esophageal tumors (BETs) pose diagnostic challenges due to overlapping clinical and imaging features, necessitating advancements in diagnostic techniques. Distinguishing between tumors with and without malignant potential is essential to guide management. We aim to review the diagnostic approach to BETs with an emphasis on recent advances.Recent FindingsEUS-guided tissue acquisition is the current gold standard, particularly in subepithelial lesions (SELs). EUS with fine-needle biopsy (FNB) is considered superior to fine-needle aspiration (FNA), unless rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is avai...
