Pancreatic cancer is one of the common causes of cancer-associated mortality with a dismal overall prognosis which has remained virtually unchanged over decades. In the present era, the management of patients with pancreatic cancer involves a multi-disciplinary team of radiologists, gastroenterologists, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other specialists. The advancement of interventional endoscopy has made a significant impact in the management of pancreatic cancers. Since the inception of endoscopic ultrasound, it has evolved over the last few decades in the management of pancreatic malignancies and its role in staging and tissue acquisition is well established. There is an emerging role of endoscopic ultrasound in the treatment and palliation of unresectable pancreatic cancer. The aim of this article is to review the role of endoscopic ultrasound in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the current era.
