Summary
- i am a clinical consultant in gastroenterology, specializing in diseases of the pancreas. I am interested in early neoplasms of the pancreas and use Endoscopic Ultrasound to detect and sample cystic and solid lesions of the pancreas. Cyst fluid analysis is used to differentiate between mucinous and non-mucinous cystic neoplasms. Advanced cytologic methods are used to document malignancies.
