EUS is routinely used for confirming the diagnosis and staging ampullary tumors. EUS staging helps to identify patients optimal candidates for endoscopic ampullectomy and avoid surgery in this group or those with unresectable disease.

Description
Summary:EUS is routinely used for confirming the diagnosis and staging ampullary tumors. EUS staging helps to identify patients optimal candidates for endoscopic ampullectomy and avoid surgery in this group or those with unresectable disease.
