Abstract:
This article expands upon of endoscopic ultrasound's (EUS) role in the evaluation of pancreatic lesions, building on findings presented by Ayesha et al and Tasneem et al regarding neuroendocrine tumors. We emphasize the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of EUS not only in solid pancreatic tumors but also in the increasingly prevalent cystic lesions, highlighting its particular relevance in resource-limited settings. By integrating high-resolution imaging, tissue acquisition, biomarker analysis, and minimally invasive interventions into a single platform, EUS addresses key diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, reducing the need for multiple costly procedures and enabling effective management even when access to advanced technologies is limited.
