Results from a multicenter European study suggest that a new, large-core biopsy needle designed for use with an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) scope may help to overcome limitations of current EUS methods for biopsies of lesions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and surrounding tissue.
The EchoTip ProCore needles allow for a histological diagnosis rather than conventional cytological diagnosis based on individual cells.
In addition, the needles are designed to access difficult-to-reach tissue in areas of the GI tract such as the pancreatic head.
