PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of colour-Doppler Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS), in the detection, loco-regional staging and assessment of vascular infiltration in pancreatic carcinoma, and to compare the results with those obtained by Computed Tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A series of 57 patients with diagnosed or suspected pancreatic carcinoma was retrospectively analysed. All patients underwent EUS and thin-slice (< 5 mm) spiral dynamic CT. The final diagnosis (carcinoma in 37 patients and benign lesion in 20) was obtained by laparotomy in 21 patients, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in 17, and follow-up in 19. RESULTS: The specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis of maligna...
