If the EUS shows an area that is abnormal, we will do a procedure called a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) using the ultrasound images to guide the needle into the area. An FNA is a way to collect tissue samples that can be tested for cancer. There is no pain involved with an FNA. We will also collect some samples for research.
