Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) is a useful tool in the diagnosis of pancreatic masses. Genetic analysis of these samples could increase the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a novel method for the detection of mutations in the KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma-2 virus) gene for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer....
