Comparing the Efficacy of Endoscopic FNA vs FNB in Diagnosing Solid Gastrointestinal Lesions

NCT01698190 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 400

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if fine needle aspiration or fine needle biopsy is more efficacious and cost-effective than the other while maintaining diagnostic accuracy in the setting of solid gastrointestinal lesions.

Conditions

  • Pancreatic Tumor
  • Gastric Tumor
  • Esophageal Tumor
  • Lymphadenopathy
  • Duodenal Tumor

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Endoscopic ultrasound guided needle tissue acquisition.

Endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration (FNA) allows for the safe and efficacious sampling of solid lesions that are in close proximity to the gastrointestinal tract, including extraintestinal masses, subepithelial tumors, and peri-intestinal lymphadenopathy. Fine needle core biopsy (FNB) has the potential of accruing larger tissue samples during biopsies, which may make the procedure more efficacious. In our study, we are comparing the overall efficacy between these two needles which are currently both used as standard of care.
