Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the staging of malignancy
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.
متن کاملUsefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for selecting carcinoid tumors as candidates to endoscopic resection.
INTRODUCTION Carcinoid tumors (CTs) represent the most common type of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Digestive CTs in the gastroduodenal and colorectal tracts may be assessed using endoscopy and echoendoscopy or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with the goal of attempting local resection with curative intent without having recourse to surgery. OBJECTIVE Endpoints in this study included:--Asses...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Elastography
2007〉 Recent developments in ultrasound (US) data processing have made it possible to develop new software. The latest generation of US workstations incorporate a central computer allowing very precise processing of the US image. This has made possible the reconstruction of images like three-dimensional US, second harmonic imaging for detecting contrast agents following intravenous injection, a...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Pancreatic Diseases using Endoscopic Ultrasonography ( EUS ) -Emphasizing the significance of Elastography-
The transabdominal ultrasonography (US) is recognized as a useful tool for the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases, it is also true that its essential weakness of “not being able to see through air” becomes a considerable handicap when observing the pancreas, which is for the most part located behind the gastrointestinal organs. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) was developed to minimize the effect...
متن کاملRole of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in management of benign esophageal strictures
BACKGROUND EUS, as it images the full thickness of the gastrointestinal tract wall, could provide more detailed information on benign esophageal strictures. Aim of this study was to evaluate the role of EUS in predicting the response to endoscopic dilatation in benign esophageal strictures. METHODS 27 patients with benign strictures (corrosive 14, peptic 10 & post-radiation 3) were prospectiv...
