Abstract

In this article, we review the information that radiologists need to know regarding the endoscopic approach to the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer. This includes a review of the indications, techniques, and complications of endoscopic ultrasound. We also review information regarding endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, including the various biliary drainage techniques and the use of endoscopic palliation for patients with pancreatic cancer.
