Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Therapies in Pancreatic Neoplasms

Abstract EN

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has evolved from being primarily a diagnostic modality into an interventional endoscopic tool for the management of both benign and malignant gastrointestinal illnesses.

EUS-guided therapy has garnered particular interest as a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, a disease often complicated by its aggressive course and poor survival.

The potential advantage of an EUS-guided approach revolves around real-time imaging for targeted therapy of a difficult to reach organ.

In this review, we focus on EUS-guided therapies for pancreatic neoplasms.
