Table 5.

Comparison of treatment and survival between patients by cytopathologic classes of repeat EUS-FNA for suspected pancreatic malignancy at St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia, between 2007 and 2014.

Repeat EUS-FNA demonstrating definite or likely adenocarcinoma (n = 10) Repeat EUS-FNA not demonstrating definite or likely adenocarcinoma (n = 35) P value
Offered treatment, n (%) 4/10 (40%) 12/35 (34%) 0.73
One-year survival, n (%) 6/10 (60%) 27/35 (77%) 0.42
Two-year survival, n (%)+ 1/9 (11%) 19/33 (56%) 0.02

Treatment and survival and one and two years among 45 patients with suspected pancreatic cancer who underwent repeat EUS-FNA (EUS-FNA: endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration; SD: standard deviation; indicates statistical significance, P < 0.05; + calculated only for 42/45 patients recruited into the study prior to May 2013.).
