Table 5KQ1b: numbers of studies comparing different tests for diagnosis and resectability in patients with unstaged disease

ComparisonNumber of Studies of DiagnosisNumber of Studies of Resectability in Those With Disease Not Staged

MDCT vs. EUS-FNA31
MDCT vs. MRI72
MDCT vs. PET/CT60
EUS-FNA vs. PET/CT10
