Comparing imaging and biopsy for pancreatic lesions
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a suspicious spot (lesion) in your pancreas that was found on an imaging test
- You are willing to have a biopsy (tissue sample) taken during an endoscopic ultrasound
- You have not had surgery on your pancreas before
- You do not have cancer that has already spread to other parts of your body

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 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.
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 study looks at how well two types of ultrasound-guided biopsies (one using an endoscope, one using regular ultrasound) work for diagnosing pancreatic lesions. It may help you understand which biopsy method is more accurate and safer for people with pancreatic problems.
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 trial tests a special camera (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to help tell what type of pancreatic cyst is present. It may help doctors decide faster whether surgery is needed.
