Abstract
- The authors review the role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the staging of cancers throughout the gastrointestinal tract. EUS offers an advantage over cross-sectional imaging in locoregional tumor staging but is less sensitive in identifying distant metastasis. The addition of FNA increases diagnostic accuracy and provides a tissue diagnosis. EUS combined with cross-sectional imaging is important in accurately staging GI tumors and thereby reducing unnecessary procedures and health care costs.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have no financial or commercial interests to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
