1. SUBMUCOSA TUMORS

• Approximately 1 in 300 patients.

• Diagnosed by endoscopy.

• EUS: location, layer, size, contour, echogenicity, vascularity.

EUS STAGING OF PANCREATIC CANCER

T staging

- EUS more accurate than CT/MRI - Vascular invasion; EUS more sensitive than CT; CT

more specific than EUS

N staging

- EUS similar to CT

- EUS stages smaller tumors (< 3cm) more accurately

PREPARATION

EUS-FNA Pancreatic cancer

• Sensitivity of up to 85%. • Specificity of up to 100%. • On-site cytopathologist; improves diagnostic yield by

10-15%.

• Complicated rate of 0.5-2%; bleeding, pancreatitis • Rarely, tumor seeding.

• Michael: 4983 patients EUS-FNA sensitivity 85%

and specificity 98% for pancreas tumor.

EUS-Guided Pancreatic Pseudocyst Drainage

EUS guided Cholangiography and

STRONG POINTS OF EUS

• Puncture do not depend on the pseudocyst depression into

the wall of the stomach.

• Avoid vessels by doppler.

• Preventing perforation.

• Observing characteristics of lesion before pseudocyst drainage.

EUS-Guided Pancreatic Pseudocyst Drainage

• Villa (2010): The success rate of endoscopic drainage ranges from

87%-97%, mortality rate of 1% and the mortality rate of 10%

associated with the surgical treatment.

• Varadarajalu (2007): The successful rate of endoscopic drainage

ranges 100% and treatment 95%. The successful rate of

EUS GUIDED ANTEGRADE STENTING

EUS GUIDED BILIARY DRAINAGE Stenting / Bilio-enterostomy

Alternative to PTC when ERCP fails

EUS GUIDED BILIARY ACCESS

EUS-BD vs. PTBD Improved rate of internal stenting, fewer complications

Bapaye et al , UEGJ 2013

EUS-CDS or EUS-HGS ? No significant difference by either approach

Bapaye et al , UEGJ 2013; Dhir et al GIE 2014

EUS guided stenting vs. ERCP stenting Similar outcomes in both groups

Dhir et al, GIE 2015

EUS GUIDED PANCREATIC STENTING

• Situations when Papillary access is not possible (Post op situations, Tight PD stricture)

(Francois, Giovannini, Deviere (2002, 2005)

• 75-80% success

EUS GUIDED CELIAC PLEXUS NEUROLYSIS- CPN

EUS-CPN safer, direct & under visual control

For Cancer pancreas EUS vs. CT guided CPN : 78% vs. 26%, p = 0.0001, effect sustained for 24 weeks

For chronic pancreatitis EUS guided vs. CT guided CPN – 43% > 25%, p < 0.05

Complication

Transient diarrhea (20-30%), orthostatic hypotension

(10-60%), abdominal pain Most are mild and transient

Gunaratnam et al (2001), Gress et al (1999)

CONCLUSION

• Endoscopic Ultrasound is an essential technique in

gastroenterology diseases.

• Endoscopic Ultrasound is a new medical procedure

which is highly qualified in diagnosis of the

gastrointestinal and pancreatico- biliary diseases.

THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
