Abstract

The first report of pancreatic cancer diagnosing by EUS-FNA has been reported by Peter Vilmann in 1992. Then EUS-FNA has widened its application such as submucosal tumor, mediastinal lesions, liver lesions, adrenal lesions, biliary lesions, etc. Furthermore, EUS-FNA widened not only diagnostic but also therapeutic procedure such as pseudocyst drainage, necrosectomy, EUS-BD, EUS-PD, EUS-CPN/CGN, injection treatment, and gastrojejunostomy.

The application of EUS-FNA seems to be widened year by year in the future.
