Prevalence of Germline Mutations Associated With Cancer Risk in Patients With Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms

Abstract: Background & aims-Many patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) carry germline mutations associated with increased risk of cancer. It is not clear whether patients with intraductal

“…Invasive carcinoma can develop both at the site of the IPMNs and at a different one, which is the main reason why most studies propose a detailed investigation of the entire pancreatic gland, including for remnant pancreas disease after an eventual partial pancreatectomy [ [7] , [8] , [9] ]. These findings associated with molecular studies of IPMNs support the concept of a “field defect” and show evidence that multifocal IPMNs are clonally distinct from each other [ 7 , 12 ].…”

“…From a genetic point of view, mutations can be identified and may be related to the increased risk of malignant transformation for a given IPMN, including germline mutations in a pancreatic cancer susceptibility gene: ATM , BRCA2 , MSH6 and PALB2 [ 12 ]. Currently, several panels are available and can contribute to the decision-making process.…”

“…For example, we identified alterations in the DNA damage response gene ATM in 17% of the analyzed cases. Germline mutations in ATM have been recently reported in patients that developed IPMNs, highlighting the potential importance of this gene in IPMN risk 19 . In addition, mucinous (colloid) carcinomas are significantly more common than typical ductal carcinomas in patients with germline ATM mutations, further highlighting the link between mutations in this gene and IPMNs 20 .…”

“…Based on imaging studies, pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) are being diagnosed with increasing frequency, the prevalence of PCNs in the general population is estimated to be between 2.6% and 45% [14]. Clinical differential diagnosis between the potential malignant pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) and the mostly benign serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) remains challenging [58]. According to the Cochrane evidence-based guideline on PCNs, there are no clinical biomarkers of DNA, RNA, or protein in the blood to differentiate PCNs, high-grade dysplasia, or adenocarcinoma [912].…”
