Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer remains a difficult task, and multiple imaging tests have been proposed over the years. The aim of this review is to describe the current role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for the diagnosis and staging of patients with pancreatic cancer. A detailed search of MEDLINE between 1980 and 2007 was performed using the following keywords: pancreatic cancer, endoscopic ultrasound, diagnosis, and staging. References of the selected articles were also browsed and consulted. Despite progress made with other imaging methods, EUS is still considered to be superior for the detection of clinically suspected lesions, especially if the results of other cross-sectional imaging modalities are equivocal. The major advantage of EUS is the high negative predictive value that approaches 100%, indicating that the absence of a focal mass reliably excludes pancreatic cancer. The introduction of EUS-guided fine needle aspiration allows a preoperative diagnosis in patients with resectable cancer, as well as a confirmation of diagnosis before chemoradiotherapy for those that are not. This comprehensive review highlighted the diagnostic capabilities of EUS including the newest refinements such as contrast-enhanced EUS, EUS elastography, and 3-dimensional EUS. The place of EUSguided biopsy is also emphasized, including the addition of molecular marker techniques.

Pancreatic tumors being either benign or malignant can be solid or cystic. Although diverse in presentation, their imaging features share commonalities and it is often difficult to distinguish these tumors. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is the most sensitive of the imaging procedures currently available for characterizing pancreatic tumors, and is especially good in identifying the smaller sized tumors. Additional applications inclusive of EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) are useful in tissue sampling and preoperative staging of pancreatic tumors.Although diagnostic capabilities have greatly evolved with advances in EUS and tissue processing technology (cytology, tumor markers, DNA analysis), differentiation of benign and malignant neoplasms, neoplastic and non-neoplastic (chronic pancreatitis) conditions, continues to be challenging.Recent innovative applications include contrast-enhanced EUS with Doppler mode, contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS, 3-dimensinal EUS, and EUS elastography. Incorporation of these methods has improved the differential diagnosis of pancreatic tumors. Finally, a multi-disciplinary approach involving radiology, gastroenterology and surgical specialties is often necessary for accurate diagnosis and management of solid and cystic pancreatic tumors.

Three-Dimensional Linear Endoscopic Ultrasound-Feasibility of a Novel Technique Applied for the Detection of Vessel Involvement of Pancreatic Masses

Abstract: Linear 3D EUS seems feasible for pancreatic evaluation. In addition, linear EUS enhanced the evaluation of vascular involvement of pancreatic lesions, especially in chronic pancreatitis.
