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.).
