Abstract:
At present, traditional imaging techniques for the diagnosis of early-stage pancreatic cancer lack enough sensitivity, and therefore, early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is still the biggest challenge in precision medicine around the world. Based on a large amount of clinical practice and the development of related techniques, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) gradually shows its advantages in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, especially early diagnosis. This article reviews the application of EUS in the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and related research advances.
