Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Identification of tissue microbiota specific to various hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Success rate of bacterial detection in tissues obtained by EUS-FNB Evaluation of the required sample volume, including area measurement, length, and cell count of EUS-FNB specimens for detection of microbiota by stereomicroscopic observation Association of bacteria flora with pancreatic duct and bile duct stenosis Identification of bacteria or bacterial genes associated with background pancreatic diseases (chronic pancreatic disease, pancreatic lipidosis, pancreatitis, etc.) diagnosed by CT/MRI or biopsy Relationships between other tissues (saliva, feces, intestinal mucosa, digestive juices) and microbiota and diversity in pancreatic tissues. Assessment of the relationship between progression and bacterial flora/diversity in malignant tumors Evaluation of the relationship between response to therapy and microbiota/diversity. Short-term/long-term prognosis and bacterial flora/diversity Assessment of the association between efficacy of drug therapy and adverse events and flora/diversity Bacterial flora analysis in cases with a final diagnosis of non-tumor lesions and its comparison with tumor lesions.
