Abstract

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic yield and factors influencing the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for upper gastrointestinal (GI) subepithelial lesions (SELs) with rapid onsite cytopathologic evaluation.
