First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how well a special biopsy method called EUS-FNB can diagnose hard-to-reach tumors in the abdomen, such as those near the bile duct or small intestine. Researchers reviewed data from 131 patients who had this procedure over 10 years. The goal was to see if this technique is both accurate and safe for diagnosing cancers in tricky locations.
