  • Title: Pure pancreatic juice cytology obtained at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
    Author: Novis BH, Rona RU.
    Journal: Isr J Med Sci; 1982 Jun; 18(6):683-7. PubMed ID: 7107205.
    Abstract:
    Aspiration cytology was performed in 38 patients, in whom endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed because of jaundice or abdominal pain suspected of being pancreatic in origin. The fluid for the cytologic examination was obtained through a catheter in the pancreatic duct after administration of secretin i.v. Neoplastic cells were found in the aspirate of 12 of the 20 patients who were eventually proven to have an adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Aspiration cytology of fluid obtained during ERCP has been shown to be useful in preoperative confirmation of pancreatic malignancy.
