Abstract
Background & AimsOutcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) evaluation vary with technique, needles, and methods of specimen evaluation. We performed a direct comparison of diagnostic yields of EUS-FNA samples collected using different gauge needles (22- vs 25-gauge), with or without suction.MethodsWe performed a randomized controlled study of 352 patients with suspected pancreatic masses, referred for EUS-FNA at a...
