This book provides an up-to-date review of therapeutic EUS with an equal focus on technical descriptions with ample endoscopic images/video clips by world experts and the scientific evidence behind the described techniques. The book provides an overview of the field in a structured manner, starting with general topics on equipment and service development and extending to the fields of EUS-guided drainage, anti-tumor therapies, and other specific EUS-guided interventional treatments.

Therapeutic Endoscopic Ultrasound is a key resource for endoscopists, gastroenterologists, surgeons, and GI oncologists.
