Pancreas biopsy and pancreatitis risk study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how often inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) happens after a pancreas biopsy using a special scope (EUS) and needle (FNB). If you are getting a biopsy of a mass or cyst in your pancreas or nearby bile duct, this study will help doctors understand the risks better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a pancreatic mass using an endoscope. The goal is to find which method is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis, which can help guide treatment.
This trial compares two ways to check a suspicious spot in the pancreas: a special CT scan and a procedure called EUS with a biopsy, which takes a tiny tissue sample. The goal is to see which method is better at telling whether the spot is cancer or not, without surgery.
This trial tests different ways of taking a biopsy (tissue sample) from a pancreatic mass using a special needle during an endoscopic ultrasound. It aims to find the best technique for getting a clear diagnosis with fewer complications.
This trial compares different ways of collecting tissue samples from a pancreatic mass during an endoscopic ultrasound procedure. The goal is to see which technique gives the most accurate diagnosis with fewer complications, helping guide treatment decisions.
This study will take a close-up look at your pancreatic tumor by using a sample from a biopsy to create a personal profile. The goal is to understand your cancer better and maybe find the best treatment for you.
This trial is testing a new navigation system to help doctors see the pancreas during an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) exam. The system may make it easier to spot lesions or other problems in the pancreas.
