N2 - Gastrointestinal endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound not only provide strategies to diagnose and stage malignancy, but also to administer palliative and definitive care. Options for anticancer therapy include endoscopic mucosal resection, photodynamic therapy, thermal therapy, self-expanding metal stents and recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided therapy, such as intratumoral injection. This review summarizes the available endoscopic techniques with a discussion of indications and recent clinical data pertaining to gastrointestinal malignancy. This review will inform the reader of emerging treatment options and stress the importance of incorporating gastroenterologists into the multidisciplinary approach in the management of gastrointestinal cancers.
