What is endoscopic ultrasound?

It is a highly informative method that combines the capabilities of endoscopy and ultrasound. This technology allows for a detailed assessment of the gastrointestinal tract walls and surrounding tissues, identifying tumors in the early stages, which is crucial for the timely diagnosis of cancer.
