EUS-EUS-GUIDED FIDUCIAL GOLD MARKER PLACEMENT IN METASTATIC COLON CANCER TO THE SPLEEN

EUS-GUIDED FIDUCIAL GOLD MARKER PLACEMENT IN METASTATIC COLON CANCER TO THE SPLEEN

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fiducial gold marker placement in a patient with metastatic colon cancer to the spleen. The patient had a history of colon cancer in remission, but a recent CT scan showed an abnormal splenic mass. EUS-guided fine needle biopsy and fiducial marker placement were done to evaluate the mass and prepare for future image-guided radiation therapy. Fiducial markers were inserted into the target lesion to improve accuracy in radiation therapy. The procedure involved using a 22-gauge needle for biopsy and fiducial marker placement. The markers were placed using the back-loading technique. The video also highlights the benefits of EUS-guided fiducial marker placement, such as accurate tumor targeting and minimizing injury to surrounding organs. The results confirmed successful marker placement, and pathology confirmed metastatic colon carcinoma. The video suggests that the use of preloaded fiducial markers and EOS-guided approach could further streamline the procedure. However, further studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes.
