No - a mass is a mass. I did however, have an endoscopic brushing taken (during an ERCP stent placement) that came back negative for cancer - although I was actually stage 3. Whipple surgery confirmed. I would get a second opinion quickly.

Hello - I am new to the group. I agree with getting more testing. I had a stent in November with the brushing during ERCP. That biopsy was negative - as was one later with a needle biopsy. The tumor was visible on CT and CA-19-9 markers were 350. My oncologist said “you do have cancer” with or without positive biopsies!
