Comparing two needles for tissue sampling during endoscopy
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of needles used during an endoscopic ultrasound procedure to collect tissue from solid masses (like tumors). The goal is to see which needle works better to get a clear diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
