Summary

This study will test two different needles for performing a biopsy of the pancreas during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures. Patients who are asked to participate in this study have a growth in the pancreas measuring greater than 35mm that needs a biopsy so that a diagnosis can be made. The biopsy can be performed using either a 19 or 25-Gauge needle. The purpose of this study is to compare which of the two needles is better for performing biopsies of the pancreas on masses that are greater than 35mm.
