EUS-FNI for Nonfunctional Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

After puncturing with the needle, 95% ethanol under the guidance of EUS was injected into the tumor. The injection volume of ethanol was estimated according to the following principles: (1) The injection volume was not larger than the tumor spherical volume. (2) Injection volume was reduced when the tumor was adjacent to the pancreatic duct or vessel. (3) Injection volume for the lesions with repeated EUS-FNI was reduced.

After puncturing with the needle, lauromacrogol under the guidance of EUS was injected into the tumor. The injection volume of lauromacrogol was estimated according to the following principles: (1) The injection volume was not larger than the tumor spherical volume. (2) Injection volume was reduced when the tumor was adjacent to the pancreatic duct or vessel. (3) Injection volume for the lesions with repeated EUS-FNI was reduced.
