Abstract

Background and Aims

EUS-guided needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) improves the diagnostic accuracy of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) but concerns regarding its expense have limited widespread adoption of this technology. We conducted a cost-benefit analysis to assess the healthcare resource implications of adding EUS-nCLE to the standard of care (SOC) management of PCLs.
