PROSPECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMANCE OF ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND-GUIDED FINE NEEDLE BIOPSY IN INTRA-ABDOMINAL MASS LESIONS

Completed
Conditions
ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND-GUIDED FINE NEEDLE BIOPSY (EUS-FNB)
ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND-GUIDED FINE NEEDLE BIOPSY (EUS-FNB), Diagnostic performance, Intraabdominal mass lesion
Registration Number
TCTR20200823001
Lead Sponsor
Gastroenterological Association of Thailand (GAT)
Brief Summary

EUS-FNB offered a high diagnostic yield in intra-abdominal solid lesions, especially for the detection of pancreatic cancer and mesenchymal tumor, where the performance of FNA could be limited. It required fewer passes to obtain adequate specimens with comparable technical performance and safety to FNA needles.
