Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration has evolved to become an indispensable tool for tissue acquisition in patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The technique is useful for sampling of both luminal and extraluminal lesions adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract. A major limitation however has been the inability to procure tissue for histologic analysis. Recently, core biopsy needles have been developed to procure histology-grade material that facilitates both a reliable diagnosis and the ability to conduct molecular profiling for deliverance of personalized anticancer therapy. This review provides a perspective on technical issues that are key for best practices in endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
