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 …

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 National guidelines recommend genomic profiling of tumor tissue to guide
precision therapy. We compared the specimen adequacy for genomic profiling and yield 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 …

Background and study aims Although newer needle designs are thought to improve
diagnostic outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy, there is limited …

Background A novel fork-tip fine-needle biopsy (FNB) needle has recently been introduced
for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided sampling. The aim of this study was to compare the …

Endoscopic ultrasound tissue acquisition, in the form of both fine needle aspiration (EUS-
FNA) and fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB), is utilized for pancreatic mass lesions …

Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective study of patients undergoing EUS-FNB
during July 1–November 15, 2016. Results: Two hundred patients (121 males and 79 …

Context.—Needle biopsy of diseased tissue is an essential diagnostic tool that is becoming
even more important as precision medicine develops. However, the capability of this …
