Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a randomized study in order to compare the diagnostic yield (primary outcome) of EUS-guided sampling of pancreatic solid lesions obtained with the 25-gauge Franseen and the 25-gauge standard needle in patients undergoing EUS-guided sampling of pancreatic solid masses without ROSE. Secondary outcomes are the number of extra passes with each needle required to reach adequate core, possibility to perform immunohistochemistry and the adverse event rate.
