Title: Endoscopic ultrasound. Author: Hawes RH. Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2000 Jan; 10(1):161-74, viii. PubMed ID: 10618460. Abstract: Endoscopic ultrasound was introduced in the early 1980s. Today, endoscopic ultrasound remains the most accurate modality for local staging of gastrointestinal cancers but the emphasis is now on what findings will impact patient care.

This article provides the current status and a glimpse into the future of endoscopic ultrasound.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
