Abstract

Tissue confirmation of the diagnosis is required either for unresectable pancreatic masses or for resectable masses when the diagnosis is uncertain. In this article, we review indications, technique, and clinical results of percutaneous fine-needle aspiration of focal pancreatic lesions.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
