Core Tip	In the present review, the novel use of endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle injection (EUS-FNI) in oncological therapy is described. EUS-FNI is a promising method to optimize treatment to a targeted area while minimizing procedure invasiveness and systemic toxicity. EUS-guided ablation, brachytherapy, fiducial marker placement, and antitumor agent injection have been described to date. While these procedures appear to be safe and reasonably well tolerated, their effectiveness and exact role in oncological treatment have yet to be established.
