BACKGROUND: There is a lack of data on training benchmarks to define competence in colorectal EMR (C-EMR) among advanced endoscopy trainees (AETs). Previous pilot data from our group demonstrated a relatively low proportion of AETs achieve competence on key cognitive and technical aspects of C-EMR…

Background: Several studies have demonstrated targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of biliary brushings and/or biopsy specimens can improve the identification of neoplastic bile duct strictures…

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer (PC) features highly proliferative cancer cells and a dense stroma modulating tumor growth. Due to the invasive behavior of PC and the lack of effective treatments, there is a pressing need to develop therapies targeted at tumorigenic events to slow down PC progression…

The management of pancreatic duct (PD) dilation is challenging as it may be secondary to both benign and malignant conditions…

Incidental detection of pancreatic cysts (PCs) is increasing and identifying high-risk cysts is of critical importance. Prior studies suggest significant cost associated with PC surveillance, which is more pronounced with over-management…

BACKGROUND: As outlined by the Kyoto guidelines, targeted DNA-based NGS of pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) is an important adjunct to the evaluation of pancreatic cyst patients…
