Detailed Description
The primary objective of the study is to assess the ability of nCLE (AQ-Flex) to accurately diagnose the type of CPL by comparing in vivo and ex vivo CLE patterns to final histopathology of surgically resected CPLs. The primary endpoints are whether or not the CLE diagnosis correlates with final diagnosis (yes vs. no).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesion (CPL) using nCLE (confocal laser endomicroscopy) [12 months]
Comparing the ability of nCLE to accurately diagnose the type of CPL by comparing in vivo and ex vivo CLE patterns to final histopathology of surgically resected CPLs.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Detection of high-grade dysplasia and/or adenocarcinoma by CLE imaging [12 months]
- CLE imaging interpretation variation [12 months]
Calculate inter-observer variation in CLE image interpretation
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
For in vivo nCLE (needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy) (Part 1):
-
Patient age 18 years and older
-
All patients referred for EUS-FNA (endoscopic ultrasound - fine needle aspiration) of accessible CPL (cystic pancreatic lesion)
-
The minimum size of the cyst should be ≥ 1.5 cm as determined by prior cross-sectional imaging studies.
For ex vivo pCLE (probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy) (Part 2):
-
All patients must satisfy inclusive criteria for in vivo nCLE.
-
All patients should have completed EUS-guided nCLE.
-
All patients should have a CPL lesion referred for surgical removal based on recommended international consensus guidelines1 and inter-departmental consensus pancreatic tumor board meeting (departments of surgical oncology, radiology, pathology and gastroenterology).
-
Patient participated and completed in vivo nCLE (Part 1)
Exclusion Criteria:
