Official title
EUS-guided Fine Needle Tissue Acquisition of Solid Pancreatic Mass Lesions Using a Novel Corkscrew Technique: a Pilot Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This research is being done to investigate if a new technique to biopsy the pancreas will lead to a larger amount tissue material that can be analyzed. Investigators have called the technique the "corkscrew" technique and believe it will allow obtaining a larger biopsy sample during the endoscopic ultrasound examination. The corkscrew technique uses a clockwise rotational movement to drive the needle into the pancreatic mass (like a wine bottle opener twists and buries itself into a cork). It is believed that this will lead to a better biopsy sample than the usual way and therefore result in a higher chance of a diagnosis.
