Core Tip	Historically, fiducial marker placement for pancreatic cancer has been performed surgically or percutaneously. The former is invasive and the latter is limited to superficial structures and lesions. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fiducial placement for pancreatic cancer is a safe, efficacious, and feasible modality. It offers a minimally invasive approach that can target deep structures and lesions, and results in more efficient care delivery via the ability to perform additional procedures at the time of marker placement.
