Detection of Neoplastic Pancreatic Cysts Using Probe Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy: A Prospective in Vivo Study
Hypothesis: the confocal laser endomicroscopy imaging of the nCLE can differentiate between
non-mucinous, mucinous non- malignant and malignant pancreatic cysts in vivo and has
increased sensitivity compared to endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA)
tissue sampling. In this pilot study the investigators will primarily evaluate technical
feasibility and interobserver agreement.
1. In patients undergoing EUS for suspected pancreatic cysts, the investigators will
evaluate the key nCLE image features of non mucinous, mucinous, and malignant
pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN).
2. The investigators will estimate the initial image quality, feasibility, and
interobserver agreement of nCLE
3. The investigators will establish the preliminary accuracy of nCLE to be used for
planning a larger comparative trial
