With the introduction of curvilinear endosonoscopes, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has achieved the role of a therapeutic modality as well as diagnostic procedure. EUS-guided tumor ablation is one such therapeutic modality. Various techniques of EUS-guided tumor ablation have been described, including radiofrequency ablation, photodynamic therapy, laser ablation, and ethanol injection. Most of the currently described techniques are experimental. Development and continuous improvement of devices, as well as establishment of indications for EUS-guided tumor ablations, are mandatory.
随着曲线内镜超声的引入,内镜超声检查(EUS)已兼具诊断和治疗手段的双重作用。EUS引导下的肿瘤消融就是这样一种治疗方式。已经描述了多种EUS引导下肿瘤消融技术,包括射频消融、光动力疗法、激光消融和乙醇注射。目前所描述的大多数技术仍处于实验阶段。设备的研发与持续改进,以及EUS引导下肿瘤消融适应证的确定,都是必不可少的。
