Mauna Kea Technologies announced a publication that demonstrates how Cellvizio positively impacts the diagnostic yield and the clinical management of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL). The article, entitled “Impact of EUS-guided microforceps biopsy and needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy on the diagnostic yield and clinical management of pancreatic cystic lesions” was published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. The article was authored by the team of physicians that conducted the study, which was comprised of members from both the Division of Gastroenterology, and the Department of Pathology, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. The primary objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic yield and change in clinical management for microforceps biopsy (MFB) and Cellvizio’s nCLE with the current SOC. The results of this study clearly demonstrate that MFB and nCLE lead to significant improvements in specific PCL diagnosis, which in turn has major impact in clinical management. Highlights from the study include: Compared to the standard of care, the use of MFB, nCLE, and their combination, led to overall changes in clinical management in 38.6%, 43.2%, and 52.3% of patients, respectively. MFB and nCLE led to an overall increase in discontinuation of surveillance for 34.1% and 31.8% of patients respectively (p<0.05 compared to SOC), eliminating the indication for follow-up radiologic or endoscopic studies for 34.1% and 38.6% of patients respectively (p<0.05 compared to SOC). Based on MFB and nCLE, 2 out of 28 (7.1%) and 3 out of 28 (10.7%) patients respectively who would have undergone further surveillance were referred for surgery.
