These data suggest that, in the spectrum of colonic neoplasms, stromal eosinophilia is most prominent in adenomas and seems to decrease with progression through the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. The ramifications of this study may alter management plans and provide some prognostic information for clinical evaluation.
Our study reveals that continuous rather than intermittent suction with smaller syringes (5-10 ml) provides optimal cellularity in EUS-guided FNA of mediastinal lymph nodes and that use of larger (20-30 ml) syringes does not improve the rate of obtaining a diagnostic specimen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
