Description
Summary:The diagnosis of early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) is challenging due to the lack of standardized diagnostic criteria. EUS has been considered a sensitive diagnostic modality for chronic pancreatitis (CP), with advancements in technique such as EUS-guided fine needle aspiration and biopsy (EUS-FNA/FNB) being developed.
