Characteristics and Outcomes of Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms With Indeterminate CEA Levels Obtained by Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA)

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels measured from fluid obtained by EUS-FNA of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN) are used to distinguish between mucinous and non-mucinous cysts.
