BACKGROUND
• Diagnostic endoscopic biopsy of intra-abdominal lesions may be performed prior to surgical resections.
• Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of intra-abdominal lymph nodes may also be performed to:
• Yield more information
• Allow for more accurate staging
• We evaluate the additional staging information concurrent fine needle aspiration of intra-abdominal lymph nodes provided
DESIGN
• We included all patients at our institution from January 1, 2000 to March 30, 2015 who, during the same endoscopic procedure, had:
• Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of an intra-abdominal lymph node AND
• Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration …
