• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 47

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate if the early change of needle during EUS-FNA for suspected pancreatic cancer allows an earlier preliminary cytological diagnosis of neoplasia.

Conditions

Pancreatic Cancer

Keywords

Pancreatic Cancer; Endoscopic Ultrasonography; Fine-Needle Aspiration; Cytopathology

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluate if the early change of needle during EUS-FNA for suspected pancreatic cancer can reduce the number of passes needed to obtain a preliminary cytological diagnosis of neoplasia.

  October 2007- September 2008

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Rate of complications related with EUS-FNA

  October 2007- September 2008

• Influence of different factors in obtaining a positive cytological result

  October 2007- September 2008

Study Arms (2)

A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients assigned to simple needle group (SN) will be sampled for a total of 6 consecutive FNA passes with a single EUS-FNA needle (only replaced if the needle has a reduced performance). After completing the 6th pass the endoscopist will be informed by the onsite cytopathologist about the preliminary cytological diagnosis.

Procedure: Single needle

B

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients assigned to multiple needle group (MN) will be sampled for a total of 6 consecutive FNA passes, replacing the needle after every 2 passes. After completing the 6th pass the endoscopist will be informed by the onsite cytopathologist about the preliminary cytological diagnosis.

Procedure: Multiple needle

Interventions

Single needle PROCEDURE

Patients will be sampled for a total of 6 consecutive FNA passes with a single EUS-FNA needle (only replaced if the needle has a reduced performance). After completing the 6th pass the endoscopist will be informed by the onsite cytopathologist about the preliminary cytological diagnosis.

A

Multiple needle PROCEDURE

Patients will be sampled for a total of 6 consecutive FNA passes, replacing the needle after every 2 passes. After completing the 6th pass the endoscopist will be informed by the onsite cytopathologist about the preliminary cytological diagnosis.
