Study Summary
Obtaining a sample from a lesion in the gastrointestinal tract by endoscopic ultrasound (a flexible tube with a camera and small ultrasound machine at its end )requires the use of a needle for taking the sample from the lesion or what we call "Fine needle aspiration (FNA)". Currently, FNA is done by three commercially available needles. These needles are used routinely in our institution for FNA. The data regarding the safety and the successfulness of any of these needles are lacking. We sought to compare all three commercially available needles in a prospective manner.
Primary Outcome
Cellularity score will be assessed by the cytopathologist using the scoring system from 0 to 10 score. This scoring system evaluate the amount of blood, malignant cells and contaminant cells. The system is a modified form Mair et al study. " Mair S, Dunbar F, Becker PJ, Du Plessis W. Fine needle cytology--is aspiration suction necessary? A study of 100 masses in various sites.
