Endoscopic ultrasound guided needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy in solid pancreatic masses - a prospective validation study.

Author
Abstract
:

 Endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a keystone in diagnosing and staging of pancreatic masses. Recently, a microfiber that can pass through a 19-gauge needle has been introduced for confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE). The aims of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic value and the reproducibility of nCLE criteria for solid malignant lesions.
