Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Endoscopy
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has transitioned from an emerging technology to an essential diagnostic method over the last 20 years.
  • Its primary role has been established in detecting and staging gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal types.
  • Research focus has shifted towards evaluating EUS's impact on patient management and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and established applications of EUS in diagnosing and managing gastrointestinal diseases.
  • To highlight the expanding role of EUS in cancer staging and inflammatory pancreatic diseases.
  • To discuss emerging applications, including EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for mediastinal diseases and EUS-guided therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical studies and research exploring the applications and outcomes of EUS.
  • Analysis of data on EUS for cancer staging (esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, colorectal).
  • Examination of studies on EUS in inflammatory pancreatic diseases, portal hypertension, and mediastinal diseases via EUS-guided FNA.

Main Results:

  • EUS is a vital tool for gastrointestinal cancer detection and staging.
  • Studies confirm EUS's positive impact on patient management and outcomes.
  • EUS-guided FNA is increasingly important for lung cancer and mediastinal disease diagnosis, with new therapeutic uses under investigation.

Conclusions:

  • EUS is indispensable for optimal management of various gastrointestinal conditions, especially cancers.
  • Continued research is expanding EUS applications, including diagnostics and therapy.
  • EUS-guided FNA represents a significant advancement in diagnosing thoracic and mediastinal pathologies.
