Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was the evaluation of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) imaging of pancreatic cancer. Method: A total of 36 patients were enrolled with pancreatic tumors by EUS and other methods such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and abdominal ultrasound at Bach Mai Hospital from January 2020 to May 2021. Results: The average tumor size observed on EUS is 3.5±1.5 cm; 76.9% tumor at head of pancreatic, hypoechoic structure (65.4%), irregular border (96.2%), solid tumor (92.3%); extra-tumor lesions on EUS: irregular pancreatic parenchyma (84.6%), dilated pancreatic duct (69.2%), abdominal lymph nodes (57.7%), vascular invasion (11.5%), and stage IIB accounts for 42.3%. Conclusion: Endoscopic ultrasonography is a highly valuable imaging diagnostic method in diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
