摘　　要：AIM： To establish an optimum combination of molecular markers resulting in best overall diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for evaluation of suspicious pancreatic mass. METHODS： Endoscopic ultrasound （EUS）-guided fine needle aspiration cytology （FNA） was performed on 101 consecutive patients （63 males, 38 females, 60 ± 12 years; 81 with subsequently diagnosed pancreatic cancer, 20 with chronic pancreatitis） with focal pancreatic mass. Samples were evaluated on-site by an experienced cytopathologist. DNA was extracted from Giemsa stained cells selected by laser microdissection and the presence of K-ras, p53 and p16 somatic mutations was tested by cycling-gradient capillary electrophoresis （CGCE） and single-strand conformation polymorphism （SSCP） techniques. In addition, allelic losses of tumor suppressor genes p16 （INK4, CDKN2A） and DPC4 （MADH4, SMAD4） were detected by monitoring the loss of heterozygosity （LOH） at 9p and 18q, respectively. RESULTS： Sensitivity and specificity of EUS-guided FNA were 75% and 85%, positive and negative predictive value reached 100%. The remaining 26% samples were assigned as inconclusive. Testing of molecular markers revealed sensitivity and specificity of 70% and 100% for K-ras mutations （P 〈 0.001）, 24% and 90% for p53 mutations （NS）, 13% and 100% for p16 mutations （NS）, 85% and 64% for aUelic losses at 9p （P 〈 0.001） and 78% and 57% for allelic losses at 18q （P 〈 0.05）. When tests for different molecular markers were combined, the best results were obtained with K-ras ＋ LOH at 9p （92% and 64%, P 〈 0.001）, K-ras ＋ LOH at 18q （92% and 57%, P 〈 0.001）, and K-ras ＋ LOH 9q ＋ LOH 18q （96% and 43%, P 〈 0.001）. When the molecular markers were used as complements to FNA cytology to evaluate inconclusive samples only, the overall sensitivity of cancer detection was 100% in all patients enrolled in the study. CONCLUSION： EUS-guided FNA cytology combined with screening of K-ras mutations and alleAIM: To establish an optimum combination of molecular markers resulting in best overall diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for evaluation of suspicious pancreatic mass.
