Pancreatic cancer develops from uncontrolled cell growth in the pancreas. Doctors may use an ultrasound to help detect pancreatic cancer as part of their diagnosis. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer can ...

Pancreatic cancer can be difficult to detect. Symptoms often don’t show until later stages, and there aren’t standard screening tests for this type of cancer. Abdominal and endoscopic ultrasounds are ...

Certain types of endoscopies, like endoscopic ultrasounds, are commonly used to detect pancreatic cancer. But pancreatic cancer can be hard to spot in its early stages, even with imaging tests. In its ...

A new study has found that endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is associated with improved outcomes in patients with localized pancreatic cancer, possibly due to the detection of earlier cancers and improved ...

Researchers report that endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) are 99.1 percent accurate in diagnosing pancreatic neoplasms (abnormal growths or ...

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsies are a safe and effective alternative to endoscopic biopsies for obtaining samples in the pancreas, a new study shows. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsies ...

Background and Aim: We report our single-centre experience with endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of solid pancreatic lesions with regard to clinical utility, diagnostic ...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fiducial placement has emerged as a critical technique in the optimisation of radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer. Through the use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), ...

Researchers report that in patients with pseudocysts with viscous debris-laden fluid, endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage by using a combination of a nasocystic drain and transmural stents improves ...

The Expect Slimline Needle is on contract with four leading group purchasing organizations. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses high-frequency sound ...

Uncontrolled and abnormal growth of cells in the pancreas can lead to pancreatic cancer. Healthcare professionals may use endoscopies to help diagnose pancreatic cancer. According to the American ...
