@erinmck My understanding is that the risk of a EUS biopsy causing cancer spread is well under 1%. If your research suggests otherwise, please share your resource. I want to read it. Thanks. I learn something new here from others every day. What other options do you have besides the EUS biopsy? It becomes a risk/reward decision. Diagnosing and treating cancer unfortunately has a lot of those. Has your brother had any genetic testing to determine if you two might have a mutation that predisposes you both to cancer?
