Brief Summary: Recent improvements in punctures techniques and needles now allow for the collection of high-quality specimens comparable to core needle biopsy A newly developed motorized fine needle biopsy mFNB the Precision-GI Limaca Israel promises intact tissue acquisition without sample damage relying on controlled axial tissue cutting and high-speed rotational coring for optimized tissue acquisition

Given the advancement mentioned the investigators aim to compare the performance of the mFNB with the standard needle during the acquisition of endoscopic ultrasound EUS-guided pancreatic and liver specimens through a prospective interventional single-center trial The study will consist of two groups of patients one assigned to the standard fine needle biopsy FNB and the other to the mFNB The primary study outcomes will include sample quality core integrity and diagnostic accuracy
Detailed Description: The development of Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition EUS-TA has been remarkable Initially focused on obtaining samples from the pancreas it has expanded significantly to include various organs adjacent to the gastrointestinal system ie liver lymph nodes adrenal glands

One of the key advancements in EUS-TA involves the shift from cytological analysis with fine-needle aspiration FNA to histological and even genetic evaluations with fine-needle biopsies FNB FNB addresses some limitations associated with FNA such as low tumor cellularity and the inability to retain cellular architecture

Recent improvements in puncture techniques and needles allow for the collection of high-quality specimens comparable to core needle biopsy to achieve standards for specimen adequacy ie intact liver cores of at least 15-20 mm with a complete portal triad count of 11 Some current available needle designs include the crown type flanged type 20 Gauge FNB needles with forward-faced core traps and the fork-tip needles demonstrating high diagnostic accuracy and a low rate of adverse events

The Precision-GI is a new motorized fine needle mFNB developed by LIMACA Medical in Israel for EUS-guided FNB It operates using a battery-powered motor that enables controlled axial tissue cutting and high-speed rotational coring for optimized tissue acquisition Moreover a sharp stylet facilitates crossing through the gastrointestinal wall allowing for the reach of target lesions The rotational electromechanical cutting movement into the lesion promises intact motorized tissue acquisition without sample damage

In the present study the investigators aim to compare the performance of the mFNB with the standard needle during the acquisition of EUS-guided pancreatic and liver specimens The study will consist of two groups of patients one assigned to the standard fine needle biopsy FNB and the other to the mFNB The primary study outcomes will include sample quality core integrity and diagnostic accuracy
