Inclusion criteria: Patients with pancreatic masses identified on imaging studies (CT, MRI, abdominal ultrasonography, or endoscopic ultrasonography) who are scheduled to undergo endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with a prior pathological diagnosis of pancreatic cancer who undergo endoscopic ultrasound-guided EUS-TA solely for the purpose of comprehensive cancer genomic profiling. 2. Inability to visualize the pancreatic mass by endoscopic ultrasonography due to anatomical reasons. 3. Lesions deemed not amenable to needle puncture based on imaging studies. 4. Bleeding tendency, defined as a prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) > 1.5 or a platelet count < 50000/mm3. 5. Inability to discontinue two or more antithrombotic agents. 6. Age < 18 years. 7. Pregnancy.
