Optimal number of needle passes in endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue sampling for genomic profiling: a randomized, noncomparative trial
Post written by Hirotoshi Ishiwatari, MD, PhD, from the Department of Pancreatobiliary Medicine, Shizuoka Cancer Center, Shizuoka, Japan. The study aimed to investigate the optimal techniques for EUS-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) to achieve successful comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) testing using commercially available assays. Matched therapy based on commercially available CGP tests plays a crucial role in improving …

Clinical impact of combination of lesion-border findings and pit patterns for identifying invasive versus noninvasive neoplastic lesions in ulcerative colitis
Post written by Yurie Kawabata, MD, from Digestive Disease Center, Showa Medical University Northern Yokohama Hospital, Yokohama, Japan. Our study focuses on evaluating whether assessing lesion-border findings (“distinct” vs “indistinct” borders) using indigo carmine chromoendoscopy can help identify cases in which Kudo’s pit pattern analysis is truly reliable for predicting the invasion depth of lesions in patients …
