Diagnosis of pancreatic tumors by endoscopic ultrasonography

Contrast-Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasonography for Pancreatic Tumors

OBJECTIVES To investigate the usefulness of contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (CE-EUS) for histological differentiation of pancreatic tumors. METHODS CE-EUS was performed for consecutive patients having a pancreatic solid lesion, and tumors were classified into three vascular patterns (hypervascular, isovascular, and hypovascular) at two time phases (early-phase and late-phase). Co...

P-HPB-04: Usefulness of contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography for diagnosis of pancreatic tumors

S18 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 and adenocarcinoma was detected. None of the lesions had mucinous morphology. There were no periprocedural complications. Conclusion: EUS is an effective modality to detect occult primary in patients with CUPS with suspected pancreaticobiliary origin. Larger studies assessing its costeffectiveness and identifying positive predict...

Recent Advances in Endoscopic Papillectomy for Ampulla of Vater Tumors: Endoscopic Ultrasonography, Intraductal Ultrasonography, and Pancreatic Stent Placement

Since it was first described nearly three decades ago, endoscopic papillectomy (EP) has been utilized as a less invasive, alternative therapy for adenoma of the major duodenal papilla. In this article, we review the recent advances in EP, especially those pertaining to endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS), and pancreatic stent placement for the prevention of post...
