Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) is a useful procedure that enables reliable pathological diagnoses of pancreatobiliary diseases, subepithelial lesions, and swollen lymph nodes. In recent years, a pathological diagnosis based on EUS-FNA has made it possible to provide accurate treatment methods not only in these fields, but also in respiratory organs and otorhinolaryngology. This review discusses the latest topics pertaining to EUS-FNA as well as procedural tips.
Core tip: In the era of cyto-pathological diagnosis of various malignant diseases, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) represents the most promising procedure for diagnosing various malignant diseases. However, to date, no reports have compared the utility, faults, and techniques of this procedure. In this review we highlight the recent topics and technical tips of EUS-FNA in the diagnostic process of various diseases, especially those which require tissue-based diagnosis to determine treatment.
