Abstract:
Endoscopic ultrasound⁃guided fine⁃needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS⁃FNA/B) has become an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment for diseases of digestive tract and adjacent organs. Meanwhile, the standardization in clinical practice of EUS⁃FNA/B becomes an urgent need. The guideline presented herein is a simplified version of the recently launched Chinese guideline for the clinical practice of EUS ⁃ FNA/B, which is based on the existing domestic and international guidelines and makes substantial updates on frontier progresses in this field in the past few years. A total of 21 clinical concerns and 37 recommendations are proposed in regard to the indications and contraindications, operative skills and techniques, specimens processing, perioperative management, and training and education of EUS ⁃ FNA/B. This guideline would be helpful in directing the clinical application of EUS⁃FNA/B.
