Assessment of EUS for diagnosing, staging, and determining resectability of pancreatic cancer: a review.
Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis, but surgery offers a potential for cure in a minority of patients with localized disease. An in-depth review by Gudjonsson1 of 4100 patients with pancreatic tumor resection found a 5-year survival rate of 3.5%. More recent studies have found improved 5and 7year survival rates of 19% and 11%, respectively, in highly selected surgical patients.2 This may ...
متن کاملEUS-Guided Pancreatic Diagnosis and Beyond
The therapeutic ability of endoscopic ultrasound has expanded, especially in assisting with radiation planning for image guided radiation techniques such as stereotactic body radiation therapy. Endoscopic ultrasound enables precise placement of fiducial markers into pancreatic cancers to accurately delineate the position of the target lesion as it moves with respiration. The authors summarize t...
متن کامل[Endosonography: progress in the diagnosis of endocrine pancreatic tumors].
Diagnostic procedures for secreting endocrine pancreatic tumors comprise biochemical tests, CT scans, conventional abdominal sonography, angiography and occasionally MR imaging and isotope scans. Due to their small size, insulinomas and gastrinomas, the most common of these tumors, elude these diagnostic procedures. Preoperative sonography and CT scans were negative in over 60%, angiograms in 3...
متن کاملPerformance characteristics of endoscopic ultrasound in the staging of pancreatic cancer: a meta-analysis.
CONTEXT The optimal approach to pre-operative imaging assessment of pancreatic cancer is unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess accuracy and performance characteristics of EUS in determining nodal staging, vascular invasion, and prediction of resectability of pancreatic cancer. A secondary aim was to perform head to head comparison of performance characteristics betwee...
