The Future of EUS

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

  • 1994 Accesses

Part of the book series: Clinical Gastroenterology ((CG))

Abstract

EUS has evolved from diagnostic imaging to tissue sampling, and most recently to therapy. This chapter provides thoughts about where the field of EUS may be headed over the next 5–10 years in terms of echoendoscope and accessory development, disease management, and training. The future of EUS is bright, and we should expect a number of creative new EUS therapies in the near future.
