Pancreatic Masses Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Use of a New Core Needle in the Endoscopic Ultrasound Assisted Tissue Sampling for Pancreatic Solid Masses
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) is a reliable, safe, and effective technique for obtaining samples from pancreatic masses. A new core biopsy needle has been developed by Beacon bnx® (Medtronic, Newton, MA) that allows the possibility to achieve a core for histology evaluation and the interchangibility of needle size using the same needle shelter and different needle sizes.
At every pass, the material will be fixed in formalin. Three passes will be done. Details of the aspirated material will be described at macroscopic evaluation by the endoscopist and then by the pathologist at macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, in order to find an interobserved agreement on the definition of the core. ;
