Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the feasibility of collecting pancreatic
juice through duodenal aspiration by ultrasound endoscopy (EUS) for molecular marker testing
after intraduodenal infusion of vinegar in patients with suspected pancreatic cancer and who
are scheduled to have endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). The main
questions it aims to answer are:
- Is vinegar-induced collection of duodenal pancreatic juice via endoscopic ultrasound
feasible?
- What is the best operating condition (amount of vinegar, collection time, etc.) of
vinegar-induced collection of duodenal pancreatic juice via endoscopic ultrasound?
Participants will have EUS as scheduled, during which different amount of vinegar will be
infused into duodenum and then pancreatic juice be collected for different time via suction
by EUS.
Researchers will compare the amount of collected pancreatic juice and molecular marker level
in different groups to determine the best operating condition for vinegar-induced collection
of duodenal pancreatic juice via endoscopic ultrasound.
