AB Endoscopic  ultrasound  (EUS)  has  a  wide  array  of  indications  for  diseases  of  the  foregut.  It  can  be  used  for  staging,  diagnosing,  and  even  treating  aspects  of  both  benign  and  malignant  processes  of  the  esophagus,  mediastinum,  stomach,  duodenum,  pancreas,  and  additional  extraintestinal  organs.  This  chapter  will  focus  on  some  of  the  most  common  indications  for  the  use  of  EUS  and  particularly  in  ways  in  which  management  might  be  effected.
