Design
Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: Procedures are performed with a linear echoendoscope under conscious sedation. EUS-FNB is performed with a 22G or 25G needles Core-needle. Tissue sampling technique is standardized between the endoscopists. Two passes are performed using the core needle. A third pass is allowed if, on macroscopic inspection of the acquired sample, the specimen is deemed insufficient by the endoscopist. EUS-FNA with ROSE is performed with a 22 or 25 gauge FNA needle. This is a multi-center, randomized, single blinded, non-inferiority, trial comparing EUS-FNB alone to EUS-FNA with ROSE in the diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses. Following consent, patients are randomized, at the time of the procedure, to undergo either EUS-FNB alone or EUS-FNA with ROSE. The randomization sequence will be generated by a computerized randomization scheme using a block size of 10 stratified according to the endoscopist.Masking: Single (Participant)Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
