Ductal adenocarcinoma accounts for 90% of all pancreatic malignancies and is the fourth leading malignant cause of mortality in the Western world and the fifth in Russia. Comprehensive preoperative examination is aimed not only at making an accurate diagnosis, but also at determining treatment strategy. The diagnostic algorithm involves endoscopic ultrasound. The modern possibilities of endosonography combined with tissue contrast enhancement and fine-needle aspiration, as well as some aspects of palliative endoscopic treatment are analyzed in the article.
