Efficacy of multi-detector computerized tomography scan, endoscopic ultrasound, and laparoscopy for predicting tumor resectability in pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Background Definitive treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is surgical resection. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), multi-detector computerized tomography scan (MDCT), and laparoscopy are current preoperative methods for assessing the resectability in this malignancy. This study compared the efficacy of these methods in predicting the resectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
