Summary

The aim of this research study is to identify the best needle for performing biopsy during EUS procedures. There are two types of needles for performing biopsy: A FNA needle that provides a small sample of tissue for analysis and a 22G ProCore needle that provides larger amount of tissue. It is not clear at this point which of the two needles is superior for performing biopsy. This study will attempt to identify the better needle by assessing the performance of both needles in a randomized fashion.
