Objective To summarize the progress of endoscopic diagnosis and therapy for pancreatic cancer.
Methods Domestic and international publications online involving progress of diagnosis and therapy for pancreatic cancer by using endoscope in recent years were collected and reviewed.
Results Recently, early diagnostic rate of pancreatic cancer increased with the development of endoscope and endoscopic technique such as endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration, peroral pancreatoscopy, optical coherence tomography, ERCP, and cytology in pancreatic juice. Furthermore, varied therapies such as endoscopic ultrasound guided celiac plexus neurolysis, implantation of iodine 125-particles or pancreatic duct/bile duct stents were performed by endoscope for advanced pancreatic cancer.
Conclusion Early diagnostic rate and novel therapeutic alternative of pancreatic cancer are supplied by digestive endoscopy.
