Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Diagnosis by Ultrasound‐Guided Fine‐Needle Aspiration—Cyto‐Histological Correlation and Experience at a Multidisciplinary Tertiary Reference Center

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by its poor prognosis. Cytology is essential for diagnostic confirmation and ancillary studies. The endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) set a precedent, facilitating cytological sampling through fine‐needle aspiration (FNA), with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 95%.

Clinical utility of photodynamic diagnosis with 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride for detecting carcinoma in situ independent of urine cytology classification

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy
Background: Urine cytology is a simple method used for diagnosing and monitoring bladder cancer. Although it offers very high specificity, its sensitivity for detecting low-grade urothelial carcinoma is limited.
