Q

What is true about EUS? (Endoscopic ultrasound)

A. Intraductal lesions, intraductal mucus, cystic lesions, and subtle ductular abnormalities are recognizable by EUS
b. EUS provides imaging capability but cannot obtain chemical samples of tissue and fluid aspiration
c. EUS images through 3-5 mHz transducer are able to evaluate subtle changes in 2-3 mm structures within the pancreas and can detect neoplasms in the setting of chronic inflammation
d. All of the choices are correct

A

A. Intraductal lesions, intraductal mucus, cystic lesions, and subtle ductular abnormalities are recognizable by EUS

—-

FALSE:
b – EUS provides not only imaging capability but also adds the capacity to obtain cytologic and chemical samples of tissue and fluid aspirated

C 2a

Tumors that are >2–≤4 cm are categorized as T2, and tumors >4 cm are categorized as T3. Patients without nodal involvement (N0) are stages IA, IB, and IIA based on tumor size (T1–T3, respectively).
