Abstract
|
|
|
|
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions for treatment of periluminal tumors allows for a minimally invasive alternative to other more invasive methods of tumor therapies such as surgery or percutaneous ablation. For many tumors, especially pancreatic and peripancreatic tumors, EUS allows the most direct access for providing therapy. However, our experience with EUS-guided tumor ablation therapy remains limited. Several promising methods for EUS-guided ablation are in development or undergoing clinical evaluation. There have been case reports and several limited studies evaluating various injection therapies such as alcohol or biologic agents. In addition, laser, photodynamic therapy, radiofrequency ablation, and high-intensity focused ultrasound are currently being investigated as possible modalities for EUS-guided ablation. These methods for performing EUS-guided ablation are reviewed.
