Abstract
Contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound (CE-EUS) has emerged as a promising diagnostic modality for assessing biliary diseases. CE-EUS is a noninvasive imaging technique that utilizes contrast agents to enhance the visualization of blood vessels and perfusion within target tissues. In the context of biliary diseases, CE-EUS allows for improved characterization of biliary lesions, aiding in differential diagnosis and treatment planning. This review highlights several key findings regarding the usefulness of CE-EUS in biliary disease assessment and therapeutic procedures.

Abstract
The close proximity of the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) probe to the pancreas, coupled with the ease with which a needle can be inserted into a pancreatic lesion, have contributed to the development of EUS-guided therapies for both adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine pancreatic neoplasms. EUS-guided fine needle injection of different types of drugs, implantation of fiducial markers to facilitate stereotactic body radiation therapy or of radioactive seeds to perform brachytherapy, and the use of different thermal and nonthermal ablation devices and techniques have all been tested in preliminary human studies. This manuscript will present the available evidence accumulated thus far in the field of EUS-guided oncological treatment of pancreatic solid tumors, along with a look into possible future applications.
