Summary: This study compared the diagnostic value and safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) in sampling solid lesions, showing that FNB has better diagnostic accuracy and tissue core rates in solid gastrointestinal lesions, with fewer needle passes, but no difference in solid pancreatic disease.

Summary: Investigating the intra-tumoral microbiome through endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) can provide adequate fresh pancreatic cancer tissue for research. This study found that the microbiome profiles obtained from EUS-FNB and surgical biopsy were comparable in terms of alpha-diversity and taxonomic composition.

Summary: In endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy, using the macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) technique with 22G Franseen needles is comparable to the conventional method in terms of diagnostic accuracy, specimen adequacy, and safety. MOSE can reduce the number of needle passes required for diagnosis.

Summary: This study compared two commonly used EUS-FNB needles in their ability to provide histologic tissue samples and reach an accurate diagnosis, and found no significant difference in performance between the Franseen needle and the Fork-tip needle. Both needles achieved high yield of histologic tissue samples and high diagnostic accuracy.

Summary: This study compared the performance of wet-suction and slow-pull techniques in EUS-FNB. The wet-suction technique resulted in a higher tissue core procurement rate, but had higher blood contamination of samples. There was no difference in diagnostic accuracy and the rate of samples with adequate tumor fraction between the two techniques.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis compared the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-guided FNA and FNB for pancreatic cancer. The meta-analysis showed that EUS-FNB had superior diagnostic accuracy compared to EUS-FNA for pancreatic cancer.

Summary: The study found that using a Menghini-type needle for EUS-FNA resulted in significantly higher sample quality compared to using a conventional needle. Tumor size and type of needle were significant factors associated with adequate tissue collection. The diagnostic accuracy was 88.7% with needle M and 73.2% with needle S, with a low rate of adverse events (0.02%).

Summary: This study assessed the diagnostic performance of EUS-FNB in abdominal masses without ROSE. The results showed that the use of 22-gauge Franseen needles with the slow-pull technique and MOSE without ROSE provided excellent diagnostic performance for malignant lesions, applicable to pancreatic cancer, mesenchymal cell tumors, and metastatic tumors.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare the diagnostic accuracy of different FNB needles for tissue sampling of solid pancreatic lesions. The results showed that Franseen and Fork-tip needles had the highest performance in terms of accuracy and sample adequacy, especially the 22-gauge size.

Summary: This article reports a case of an unexpected catecholamine crisis that occurred after EUS-FNB. Despite being considered relatively safe, careful evaluation is required when performing biopsy of lesions around the aorta.

Summary: The meta-analyses showed that fine-needle biopsy (FNB) outperformed fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in obtaining tissue samples, with higher diagnostic accuracy and tissue core rate, and requiring fewer passes for diagnosis. Among different FNB devices, forward-facing bevel needles demonstrated higher diagnostic accuracy compared to reverse bevel needles. However, due to low quality of evidence, further research is needed to make strong recommendations on the optimal FNB design.

Summary: The study suggests that the novel EUS-FNB needle (NEFN) is an effective and reliable alternative to the conventional EUS-FNA needle (CEFN) in terms of tissue acquisition rate and quality of histologic sampling.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and adverse event rate of EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy sampling (EUS-FNB) in diagnosing lymphadenopathies (LAs). The results showed that EUS-FNB with new end-cutting needles is a valuable and safe method for diagnosing LAs.

Summary: The study assessed p40 expression in fine needle biopsy samples of PDAC and found it to be associated with squamous differentiation in PDAC. For inoperable patients, a p40 H-score > 30 may indicate a shorter survival time. Therefore, squamous differentiation could be a potential treatment target in PDAC.
