Management Algorithm for Cystic Pancreatic Lesions

Abstract: Cystic pancreatic lesions are common findings in an aging society due to an increasing availability of high-resolution cross-sectional imaging. Although the overall prevalence of malignancy and the rate of malignant conversion are low, especially mucinous pancreatic cystic lesions such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and mucinous cystic neoplasm harbor significant malignant potential depending on their morphology and size. Recently updated guidelines recommend sophisticated algorithms for initial wo… Show more

“…[2,8,9,20] EUS-FNA may be beneficial for patients with pancreatic cystic lesions with the features listed in Table 3. [5,15,21] In those patients, confirmation of negative cytology results and normal CEA levels in EUS-FNA may provide evidence to support the monitoring approach and deferral of surgical intervention. [5,15,21] However, for most cases in Table 1, including ours, EUS-FNA were not used as auxiliary tools, with the exception of 2 cases [5,22] and surgery was performed in all cases.…”

“…The review articles in this issue on biomarkers [3], radiological workup [4], and endoscopy [5] describe the evidence available regarding diagnostics today, while the articles by Beyer et al [6], Andrianello et al [7], as well as D'Haese and Werner [8] summarize the latest advances in treatment, including the indications for surgery and the different options of resection. Despite the increasing data on the management of cystic lesions, the controversy regarding the best treatment remains.…”

“…Despite the increasing data on the management of cystic lesions, the controversy regarding the best treatment remains. The risk of developing a malignancy under surveillance has to be balanced against the risk of surgical resection [6,7]. The risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality is dependent on the expertise of a surgical center, the amount of surgical cases, and the type of procedures performed.…”
