Randomized controlled trial comparing the Franseen needle with the Fork-tip needle for EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy
2021, Gastrointestinal EndoscopyCitation Excerpt :More recently, a multicenter randomized controlled trial has shown an advantage of EUS-FNB over EUS-FNA, not only for histologic yield but also for diagnostic accuracy.14 Although the improvement in the overall diagnostic accuracy of FNB compared with FNA remains debatable, obtaining histology samples may be useful in establishing a reliable diagnosis in varied GI tract pathologies, including autoimmune pancreatitis, benign lymphadenopathy, lymphomas, and GI submucosal lesions, which require either larger samples, assessment of the tissue architecture, or additional tissue processing such as immunohistochemical analysis.5-7,15 In benign lesions, a good histologic sample is considered superior to cytology alone for excluding cancer.3,4,16

2015, Diagnostic HistopathologyCitation Excerpt :Diagnostic accuracy and technical failure rates were similar between needles, however the 19G needle yielded histological core tissue in significantly more patients than the 25G needle (86.1 vs. 33.3%, P < 0.001). The 19G Trucut biopsy needle (Cook Medical, Winston–Salem, NC, USA) was developed to attain core histologic tissue,18 however is has limited ability to sample from the duodenum due to the needle's rigidity.19 A 19G fine needle biopsy (FNB) device (ProCore; Cook Medical, Winston–Salem, NC, USA) with reverse bevel technology was subsequently developed.
