Core Tip	Applications of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in pancreatic cancer are emerging. We review the role of EUS in the detection, diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer. The introduction of recent novel techniques such as contrast-enhanced EUS, elastography and analysis of DNA markers in fine-needle aspiration samples might improve the accuracy of EUS. In addition, we review therapeutic application of EUS including celiac plexus interventions, fiducial and brachytherapy seeds placement, fine needle injection and EUS-guided biliary drainage.
