Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: KRAS mutation analysis may provide ancillary diagnostic yield in an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided histopathological evaluation. We evaluated the clinical impact of KRAS mutation analysis with cytological and histological evaluations in EUS-guided tissue sampling, using a core biopsy needle for solid liver masses. METHODS: EUS-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) using a core biopsy needle...
