Core Tip	The impact of the type and size of needles used for endoscopic ultrasound guided-guided tissue acquisition have been the center of recent studies aiming at maximizing tissue yield. In addition to needles, several other variables impact the final outcome of tissue acquisition including the location and characteristics of the lesion, the fine needle aspiration technique, and the availability of on-site cytopathology services. In this review we outline the results of these studies and summarize the recent advances in this field.
