EUS-Guided Fiducial Placement for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate placing the radiation therapy markers
(Fiducial) by using an endoscopic procedure. The endoscopic procedure is called an Endoscopic
Ultrasound (EUS). This is a procedure using a special endoscope that has an ultrasound on the
end. The ultrasound will allow the doctor's to see where the radiation therapy markers
(Fiducial) is to be placed as outlined by the Radiation Oncologist.
