Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a crucial diagnostic modality.
  • It plays a key role in evaluating gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of EUS.
  • To discuss advancements in EUS technology and their clinical impact.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on EUS applications.
  • Emphasis on endoscopic ultrasonographic fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).
  • Discussion of high-frequency probes and future 3D imaging.

Main Results:

  • EUS is vital for diagnosing and staging esophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, and biliary tumors.
  • EUS-FNA enables cytologic and histologic diagnosis of tumors and lymph nodes.
  • EUS facilitates therapeutic interventions like botulinum toxin injection and pseudocyst drainage.

Conclusions:

  • EUS is a versatile tool for diagnosing and staging GI tumors.
  • Emerging EUS techniques expand its therapeutic potential.
  • Future advancements in EUS promise more precise cancer staging.
