“…Direct injection can also help enlarge the lesion for better visualization and change its color compared to the surrounding pancreatic parenchyma. Albeit with limited clinical experience without large published studies, the procedure appears safe and efficacious in observational studies, allowing surgeons to readily identify small pancreatic lesions intraoperatively [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. In one study of 16 patients who underwent EUS–FNT, all but one had visible tattoos during surgery, with one adverse event of a contained hematoma at the injection site [ 40 ].…”

The emergence of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has significantly impacted the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer and its associated sequelae. While the definitive role of EUS for pancreatic cancer remains incompletely characterized by currently available guidelines, EUS undoubtedly offers high diagnostic accuracy, the precise staging of pancreatic neoplasms, and the ability to perform therapeutic and palliative interventions. However, current challenges to EUS include limited specialized expertise and variability in operator proficiency. As the technology and techniques continue to evolve and become more refined, EUS is poised to play an increasingly integral role in shaping pancreatic cancer care.
