TERMINATED
EUS-CNB Versus EUS-SINK for Diagnosis of Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) Subepithelial Tumors
Description

This is a single-blinded randomized control trial trying to compare the effectiveness of diagnosis between two techniques employed in tissue sampling for subepithelial tumors (SETs) of the gastrointestinal tract. Over 2 years, patients having SET will be randomized to either get the EUS-guided core needle biopsy (EUS-CNB) or EUS-guided single-incision with needle knife (SINK) technique. This is of grave importance because the diagnosis of the myriad types of SETs is made histologically requiring a good sample.
