Evaluation of EUS-Guided 22 Gauge Core Biopsy Versus Fine-needle Aspiration for Suspected Pancreatic Neoplasms

NCT01673334 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2024-02-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We aim to compare the efficacy (diagnostic yield), ease of use, and technical success rates of EUS guided 22 gauge fine needle aspiration to core biopsy in the evaluation of pancreatic tumors. The experimental hypothesis is that FNA will have superior overall diagnostic yield than core biopsy.
