Advances in the application of endoscopic ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer

Abstract

Liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, and its incidence rate is increasing year by year. Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer is of great importance. Among various examinations, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can perform close scanning of the liver and the biliary system, which plays an indispensable role in the diagnosis, treatment, and staging of liver cancer. This article reviews the current status and future perspectives of EUS in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer, in order to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer.
