Applications of endoscopic ultrasonography in pancreatic cancer.
BACKGROUND Accurate staging of pancreatic cancer is essential for surgical planning and for identification of locally advanced and metastatic disease that is incurable by surgery. Advances in endoscopic sonography (EUS), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography have improved the accuracy of staging and reduced the number of incomplete surgical resections. Tissue acquisition is...
متن کاملInterventional Endoscopic Ultrasonography: Present and Future
The technical advances in endoscopic ultrasonograpy (EUS) and accessories have enabled performing EUS-guided intervention in the pancreas and biliary tract. Many research centers have been performing or investigating EUS-guided drainage, EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis and block, EUS-guided anastomosis that includes choledocho-enterostomy and choledocho-gastrostomy, EUS-guided ablation and ...
متن کاملContrast-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...
متن کاملInterventional Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer.
BACKGROUND Palliative therapy and primarily chemoradiotherapy are the mainstream treatments in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC). Conventional endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventional therapy has emerged as an important procedure for PC management. In this review, the progress in conventional endoscopy and EUS for PC management is discuss...
متن کاملInterventional endosonography for pancreatic cancer.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was initially developed in the early 1980s as a research tool to overcome limitations of transabdominal ultrasound for an examination of the pancreas caused by intervening gas, bone, and fat. Since its introduction into clinical practice, EUS has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, particularly pancreatic cancer. The ability to p...
