Clinical Evaluation Of Needle-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in Cystic Tumors of the Pancreas

This study focuses on pancreatic cysts, especially malignant pancreatic cysts. The primary hypothesis of the study is that using nCLE in addition to EUS-FNA and tissue sampling allows better characterization of pancreatic cysts and improves appropriate therapeutic decision-making. For physicians, integrating nCLE into the diagnostic algorithm of pancreatic cysts could impact patient management by: Ruling out malignancy for patients with benign appearing nCLE images. Characterizing more malignant tumors in the pancreas.
