Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease, for which mortality closely parallels incidence.
Most patients with pancreatic cancer remain asymptomatic until the disease reaches an …

Tissue acquisition using EUS has considerably evolved since the first EUS-FNA was
reported 25 years ago. Its introduction was an important breakthrough in the endoscopic …

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 Although rapid on-site cytologic evaluation provides high efficacy of EUS-
guided FNA (EUS-FNA), its availability is limited. Alternatively, macroscopic on-site quality …

Background & Aims Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needles with side

Background Contemporary EUS-guided FNA techniques involve the use of a needle, with
an air column within the lumen, with or without suction. We describe a novel technique with …

Background and Aims As EUS-guided liver biopsy sampling (EUS-LB) becomes more
widely used, further studies have investigated ways to improve tissue yields. Use of a …
