Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Oncologic Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer

الملخص EN

Since the development of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in the early 1990s, its application has been extended to various diseases.

For pancreatic cancer, EUS-FNA can obtain specimens from the tumor itself with fewer complications than other methods.

Interventional EUS enables various therapeutic options: local ablation, brachytherapy, placement of fiducial markers for radiotherapy, and direct injection of antitumor agents into cancer.

This paper will focus on EUS-guided oncologic therapy for pancreatic cancer.
