Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) of the esophagus has been used primarily in staging biopsy-proven cancers. Its use as a primary diagnostic modality for esophageal malignancy has not been previously described. We report our recent experience in four patients with dysphagia and endoscopic biopsies negative ...
Following a review of the cone biopsy slides, three deeper sections of the tissue blocks were examined in specimens that were still negative or equivocal for premalignancy. Thereafter, for those still negative the preconization, referral Pap tests, and colposcopic directed tissue samples were ...
Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is the most common malignancy in young males. Although most TGCTs are sensitive to cisplatin-based chemotherapy, signifi... Fung,KL M.,Cheung,... - 《British Journal of Cancer》 被引量: 52发表: 2006年 Bilateral Testicular Germ Cell Tumours. Report of Nin...
Surgery is often performed for reasonsother than their fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) such as symptoms, nodule enlargement, or worrisome imaging. We hypothesized that an analysis of patients who underwent thyroidectomy despite a benign FNAB would identify predictors of malignancy, an area not ...
malignancyBackground and aim: Endoscopic biopsy is standard for the diagnosis of esophageal malignancy. However, few cases present with smooth stricture with repetitive negative biopsy results. We aimed to use linear endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in the diagnosis of ...
Role of endoscopic ultrasonography in the evaluation of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignancy that arises from biliary epithelium and is associated with a poor prognosis. Accurate preoperative diagnosis and staging...

This procedure guided by EUS is an effective and safe diagnostic method for gastric infiltrating tumors in which endoscopic biopsy results were negative for malignancy. 展开 关键词: Endoscopic ultrasonography, Endoscopic biopsy, Diagnosis, Gastric linitis plastica, Gastric lymphoma ...
Twenty-seven false-negative CNBxs were identified in 952 consecutive CNBxs of the breast (653 benign, 266 malignant, and 33 atypical) performed during a 1-year period. Biopsies were analyzed with respect to clinical and radiologic findings, biopsy type, type of malignancy, and interval between ...
The diagnostic efficacy of different PSAD cutoff values was computed to select an appropriate cutoff value that could potentially avoid biopsy. This study provides support for urologists in making clinical decisions regarding prostate biopsy for patients with negative MRI results based on the Chinese ...
Although VB is an accurate procedure for diagnosing nonpalpable breast lesions with a low cancer miss rate, we consider the exclusion of malignancy in cases of disseminated microcalcifications or several clusters as a limitation. The radiologic-pathologic correlation in these cases is a challenge, ...
