Clinical trials: Solid Lesion Biopsies
Solid Lesion Biopsies
Study Comparing 25d ProCor Needle Versus the Standard 25g Needle for Biopsies Performed by EUS-FNA
Background: There is an ongoing interest in developing Endoscopic Ultrasound /Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) needles that can provide tissue core biopsies for a true histological (rather than cytological) evaluation.

- 25g standard needle, 25d ProCor needle

Solid Pancreatic Tumor
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) With Rapid On-site Evaluation (ROSE) of Cytopathology vs. EUS-guided Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) Alone in the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Solid Lesions
Currently, the best way to evaluate pancreatic masses is through endoscopic-guided needle sampling of the mass to determine the diagnosis by looking at the acquired tissue under a microscope.
