Comparing two biopsy needles for endoscopy-guided tissue sampling
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of biopsy needles used during an endoscopic ultrasound procedure to collect tissue from solid masses. The goal is to see which needle works better for getting accurate samples for diagnosis.
