Summary

The aim of this study is to compare Endoscopic Ultrasound and Fine Needle Aspirate with a standard 22-gauge needle using either "standard-suction" or "capillary suction" methods for solid pancreatic lesions. Investigators hope to discover the best technique for obtaining diagnostic material when patients with a pancreatic mass undergo endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspirate procedure. There are currently several techniques for obtaining tissue during endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspirate. The procedure will be performed by either the capillary suction technique or no suction technique.

Conditions

• Pancreatic Solid Lesions
• Pancreatic Mass

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Standard technique EUS-FNA	Standard suction Endoscopic Ultrasound- Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) technique using the 22-gauge (Expect needle; Boston Scientific) needle: 15 to-and-fro movements within the lesion will be performed with use of 10cc suction syringe.
DEVICE	Capillary suction technique for EUS FNA	Capillary suction Endoscopic Ultrasound- Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) technique using the 22-gauge (Expect needle; Boston Scientific) needle: 15 to-and-fro movements within the lesion will be performed with simultaneous minimal negative pressure provided by pulling the needle stylet slowly and continuously
