During the past two decades, there has been a significant evolution in endoscopic interventions in pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs), ranging from diagnostic intervention (endoscopic ultrasound-guided through-the-needle biopsy [EUS-TTNB]) to therapeutic intervention (endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic cystic ablation [EUS-PCA]). They have received attention as alternatives to conventional diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. EUS-TTNB can categorize PCN types accurately by providing histologic diagnoses that conventional diagnostic modalities cannot provide. As pancreatectomy entails high morbidities, EUS-PCA can be performed safely to treat PCNs in patients who refuse surgery or have high surgical risks.
