Randomized Trial Comparing the 22-gauge Aspiration and 22-gauge Biopsy Needles for EUS-guided Sampling of Solid Pancreatic Mass Lesions
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 22G ProCore biopsy needle and 22G standard FNA needle for Pancreatic Neoplasm. Completed, enrolled 56 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this research study is to identify the best needle for performing biopsy during EUS procedures. There are two types of needles for performing biopsy: A FNA needle that provides a small sample of tissue for analysis and a 22G ProCore needle that provides larger amount of tissue. It is not clear at this point which of the two needles is superior for performing biopsy. This study will attempt to identify the better needle by assessing the performance of both needles in a randomized fashion.
