New biopsy technique may spot hidden abdominal cancers without major surgery
NCT ID NCT07621536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · 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.
