Background and study aims: To overcome the limitations associated with cytology, a
uniquely designed needle (ProCore) was introduced in an effort to obtain a core of tissue …

Background The diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided fine-needle
aspiration (FNA) is variable, and partly dependent upon rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) by a …

For routine EUS-guided sampling of solid masses and lymph nodes (LNs) ESGE
recommends 25G or 22G needles (high quality evidence, strong recommendation); fine …

Background and Aims Pancreatic cancer organoids are tumor models of individualized
human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), created from surgical specimens and …

Background Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided tissue acquisition is extensively used, but
the optimal sampling device is still a matter of debate. We performed meta-analyses on …

Background & Aims Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needles with side
fenestrations are used to collect aspirates for cytology analysis and biopsy samples for …

The fourth part of the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and
Biology (EFSUMB) Guidelines on Interventional Ultrasound describes general aspects of …

Background and Aims Several studies have compared EUS-guided FNA with fine-needle
biopsy (FNB), but none have proven superiority. We performed a multicenter randomized …

Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) using standard
needles has a high diagnostic value in the evaluation of solid pancreatic masses …

Robust data in favor of clear superiority of 22G fine-needle biopsy (FNB) over 22G FNA for
an echoendoscopic-guided sampling of pancreatic masses are lacking. The objective of this …
