Comparing two imaging tests for pancreatic lesions
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to look at a spot on the pancreas: a special CT scan (triphasic CT) and a procedure called endoscopic ultrasound with biopsy (EUS-FNB). The goal is to see which method better identifies the type of lesion, helping doctors choose the best treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a spot on your pancreas found by an initial scan
- You can have a triphasic CT scan (no severe kidney problems or serious allergy to CT dye)
- You can have an endoscopic ultrasound with biopsy (no bleeding disorder or other medical reason that would make it unsafe)
- You have not had pancreatic surgery before
- You do not have cancer that has already spread to other parts of your body

This study compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a solid mass in the pancreas. The goal is to see which method gives a better sample for diagnosis.
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 two different ways of using a special needle to take a tissue sample from a pancreatic mass during an endoscopic ultrasound procedure. It aims to see which technique works best for getting a clear diagnosis.
This trial compares two types of needles used during an endoscopic ultrasound to sample solid masses. It aims to see which method gets better tissue for diagnosis.
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.
This trial uses a special endoscope (EUS) to take samples of your pancreatic tumor and then analyzes those samples with advanced tests to see if we can predict whether the cancer will come back or spread. It may help tailor your treatment plan.
