Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration has emerged as the procedure of choice to obtain samples to reach a definitive diagnosis of lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and of adjacent organs. The obtainment of a tissue core biopsy presents several advantages that can substantially contribute to the widespread diffusion of EUS utilization in the community and in countries where cytology expertise may be difficult to be achieved. This article will review the EUS-guided fine needle biopsy techniques developed so far, the clinical results, their limitations as well as their future perspective.
内镜超声（EUS）引导下细针抽吸术已成为获得样本以明确诊断胃肠道和邻近器官病变的首选方法。获取组织芯活检具有多项优势，这将大大有助于 EUS 在社区和细胞学专业知识难以获得的国家中的广泛应用。本文将回顾迄今为止开发的 EUS 引导下细针活检技术、临床结果、其局限性以及未来展望。
