Brief Summary:

Background: Preoperative pathologic diagnosis of subepithelial tumor (SET) can improve clinical decision making. Although EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) is currently considered the standard method for sampling SET, its diagnostic yield is generally suboptimal. EUS-guided fine needle biopsy (FNB) of SET is safe and feasible with adequate histology obtained.

Objective: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB.

Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Diagnostic accuracy (proportion of correctly classified subjects (ture positive + true negative) among all subjects ) , compared to the gold standard diagnosis [ Time Frame: 12 months ]

    Gold standard diagnosis is defined as;

    1. in operated patients; histological assessment of the surgical resection specimen
    2. in non-operated patients; based on the conclusions of the diagnostic work-up (combined outcomes of FNA and FNB samples and imaging studies)
