Summary: The authors selected ten different markers suitable for endoscopic placement in the pancreas and tested the visibility and artifacts of these markers on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They conclude that when visibility of the markers is most important, markers that contain iron [Gold Anchor] are optimal, preferably in a folded configuration. Article in Medical […]
Background (extract): The aim of this video (Video 1, available online at www.VideoGIE.org) is to describe the technique for placement of EUS-guided fiducial markers in the treatment of locally advanced PC. Conclusion (extract): The application of SBRT to locally advanced or metastatic PC usually requires the use of fiducial markers to track the precise location […]
Background: Preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (NACRT) is applied for resectable pancreatic cancer (RPC). To maximize the efficacy of NACRT, it is essential to ensure the accurate placement of fiducial markers for image-guided radiation. However, no standard method for delivering fiducial markers has been established to date, and the nature of RPC during NACRT remains unclear. […]
“Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fiducial Placement for Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer” Extract from abstract: Accurate delivery of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to pancreatic tumors relies on successful EUS-guided placement of fiducial markers. …A retrospective chart review was performed for all (n = 82) PC patients referred for EUS-guided fiducial placement by a single endosonographer […]
