Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding tissues. In the context of cancer, EUS is used for staging by determining the size, extent, and depth of tumors in organs like the pancreas and rectum. This information helps healthcare professionals plan treatment options and assess prognosis.
