Abstract
Pancreatic cancer tumors are difficult to access for biopsy. The use of coaxial needles during ultrasound (US)-guided coarse needle biopsy (CNB) may help to improve specimen collection yields and avoid tissue damage. In this retrospective study, the safety, efficacy, and clinical benefits of US-guided percutaneous coaxial CNB of pancreatic masses were evaluated and compared to those of non-coaxial CNB.A total sample of 220 biopsies performed...
