Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy of pancreatic cells, one of the leading causes of death in the world. Abdominal ultrasound and endoscopic ultrasonography are two highly valuable tools in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Objectives: Values ​​of abdominal and endoscopic ultrasound in diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer according to AJCC 2010 classification. Patients and methods: Retrospective, descriptive study on 73 eligible patients. Included in the study of 56 pancreatic cancer patients, compared with the gold standard of postoperative histopathology. Results: Abdominal ultrasound and endoscopic ultrasonography have (%): Sn 80.4/92.9. Sp 58.8/76.5. PPV 86.5/92.9. NPV 47.6/76.5. Acc 75.3/89.0%. Pancratic cancer classification according to AJCC 2010 on Abdominal ultrasound stage IIA accounts for the highest rate of 33.3%. Abdominal ultrasound predicts the surgical probability of tumor (IA, IB, IIA, IIB) 86.6%. SANS stage IIB accounted for the highest rate of 40.4%. Endoscopic ultrasonography predicts the surgical probability of tumor (IA, IB, IIA, IIB) is 82.7%. Conclusions: Endoscopic ultrasound is more valuable than abdominal ultrasound in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
