EUS has become integral to the diagnosis and staging of GI and mediastinal mass lesions and conditions. EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) allows the endoscopist to obtain tissue or fluid for cytologic and chemical analysis, adding to the procedure's utility. Furthermore, the recent development of EUS-guided core biopsy techniques enables his-tologic sampling in
