Routine positron emission tomography does not alter nodal staging in patients undergoing EUS-guided FNA for esophageal cancer
Background: Although EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) are both used in the staging of esophageal cancer, the utility of routinely performing both tests is unclear. Objectives: The primary aim of the study was to determine the benefit of routi...
