Summary

RATIONALE: Pancreas tumor localization makes minimally invasive surgical resection of pancreas tumors very challenging. Recently, an endoscopic ultrasound needle system has been developed which enables fiducial coils to be placed at the precise site of biopsy.

INTERVENTION: At time of EUS guided biopsy the fine needle fiducial device will be used to place fiducials in the tumor. During surgery we will assess whether it improves tumor visualization.

OBJECTIVES: We aim to determine the feasibility to use EUS guided fiducials placement to mark pancreas tumors in 20 patients and to assess whether the fiducials impact tumor visualization during pancreas surgery.

STUDY POPULATION: Patients with pancreas adenocarcinoma or neuroendocrine lesions.

STUDY ENDPOINTS: The main outcome will be to assess whether the coil may be successfully placed during EUS and whether they impact tumor visualization during surgery FOLLOW UP and ANALYSIS: Patients will be assessed at the time of EUS and surgery. This is a pilot analysis with the intention to assess feasibility and to gather data to power larger trials.
