Measure
Wet Suction
This arm included all the patients that got an endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy done with the wet suction technique=17 Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy: Using the echoendoscope the lesion is identified and the needle is inserted in it to obtain a biopsy also under sonographic guidance
Dry Suction
This arm included all the patients that got and endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy done with the dry suction technique=20 Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy: Using the echoendoscope the lesion is identified and the needle is inserted in it to obtain a biopsy also under sonographic guidance
Slow Pull
This arm included all the patients that got an endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy done with the slow pull technique=17 Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy: Using the echoendoscope the lesion is identified and the needle is inserted in it to obtain a biopsy also under sonographic guidance

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours

Population: Diagnostic passes 4 and above were considered outside of protocol

This indicates which out of the 3 passes provided enough tissue for diagnosis. If after 3 passes not enough tissue was obtained, the doctor was free to use the technique of his preference outside of the protocol.
