Study Summary
This is a clinical trial to compare two needles used in biopsy techniques to acquire tissue from pancreatic cancer. The hypothesis is that the tissue yield, as measured by tumor DNA and cellular material is superior for Flexible Needle Biopsy (FNB) compared with conventional Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA). Specifically, FNB will increase the proportion of cases in which sufficient DNA is obtained to allow genomic profiling and whole exome sequencing.
Primary Outcome
Total quantity of DNA obtained from first needle pass of adenocarcinoma, measured in ng/µL.
Interventions
- DEVICE Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB)
- DEVICE Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)
