Abstract
The accurate diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer require careful examination and sampling of tissue. Although several methods can be used for tissue sampling, it is advisable to use a standard, internationally accepted method that should be simple but adequate to obtain the most possible information for assessment of curative value and prognosis and for statistical evaluation. We introduce the gross sampling method for pancreatic tissue examination, according to the general rules adopted by the Committee of the Pancreatic Society of Japan [1].
