| Popis: | Accurate staging of gastric cancer is vital in guiding treatment decisions. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as the most accurate means of locally staging gastric cancer. In this review, we discuss the role of EUS in the management of gastric cancer, focusing on EUS technique for Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) staging, comparison of EUS to other imaging modalities used for staging, and specific clinical scenarios (early and advanced gastric cancer) in which EUS is performed. |
