Abstract:
Since first introduced over 20 years ago, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has become established as an important tool in the staging of gastrointestinal malignancies and potentially resectable non-small cell lung cancer. This review describes the current roles of EUS in staging these tumours, highlighting interventional roles, current problem areas and future developments.

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
