Summary:
In this paper authors assess an accuracy of preoperative
diagnostic of pancreatic masses in patients with suspected
pancreatic cancer, who are considered for surgery.
According to these results (52 examined patients) the
most reliable method in diagnostic and staging of pancreatic
cancer is the endoscopic ultrasonography with
guided fine-needle aspiration (sensitivity about 79 %),
other imaging methods – computer tomography (sensitivity
61 %), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography
(sensitivity 73 %) – have lower sensitivity. Author’s
results are in correlation with previously published
data. There was no serious complication in the group of
examined patients.
Key words:
pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis,
endoscopic ultrasonography, fine-needle aspiration, surgery.
