Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

WET-SUCTION

The stylet will be removed and the needle will be pre-flushed with 1-2mL of saline. The lesion will then be punctured, and suction will be applied using a 10-mL pre-vacuum syringe. The sample collected will be pushed into a formalin vial with saline.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Solid lesions will be sampled under endoscopic ultrasound guidance using the two techniques (wet-suction and slow-pull)

SLOW-PULL

After puncturing the lesion, the stylet will be slowly and gradually withdrawn for at least 40cm. The sample will be pushed into formalin using the stylet.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Solid lesions will be sampled under endoscopic ultrasound guidance using the two techniques (wet-suction and slow-pull)
