Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) frequently requires neo-adjuvant therapy, leaving cytologic preparations - especially endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration smears - as the only naïve tissue available for molecular testing. However, their applicability remains underappreciated due to limited data and concerns about specimen adequacy. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility...
