“…120 Several studies have assessed EUS-FNA receiver operating characteristics by including only pancreatic cancer patients. [121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132] The initial reports showed a sensitivity of 85-95%, with a specificity close to 100%. 3, [121][122][123][124][125] The reports from the past 5 years also showed a high sensitivity of the procedure between 80% and 95%, with a specificity of 100%.…”

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.

“…The accuracy of diagnosis for pancreatic masses using 22G needles is up to 95% [51]. A metaanalysis compared the 22G and 25G needles for pancreatic and peripancreatic masses showed non-significant differences in sensitivity (78% vs 91%), and 100% specificity, with no difference in the number of passes or complications [52].…”

“…CT-guided biopsy has a risk of peritoneal dissemination of disease and a falsenegative rate of 20% [15,16] whereas ERCP brush cytology has a false-negative rate of nearly 30% [17]. The sensitivity to detect pancreatic tumors using EUS ranges from 85 to 100% in different studies [18][19][20].…”

Endoscopic Ultrasound is an emerging diagnostic tool in the field of Gastrointestinal Surgery. Our review article focuses on role of EUS in staging cancers (esophageal, gastric, biliary and rectal), detection of bilio-pancreatic calculi and diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. Potential for performing EUS based therapeutic interventions are been explored and looks promising from the initial reports.
