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.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Data on all the consecutive EUS performed for para-duodenal, para-jejunal land hepatic hilum lesions in our Unit between January 2013 and June 2023 will be retrospectively reviewed. Telephone contact will be performed if additional information is required to fulfil the Case Report Forms (CRF). CRFs will be used to collect the data. CRFs are fully anonymized using a progressive alphanumeric identification code and the age instead of the date of birth. CRFs will be translated into an electronic spreadsheet.
