Comparing biopsy needles for pancreatic masses
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares three different types of needles used during an endoscopic ultrasound to see which one gets the best tissue sample for diagnosing a solid pancreatic mass. It may help you if you need a tissue sample of your pancreas.
