1
Conclusion: Patients with pancreatic cysts have a significantly higher overall risk of PaCa.
2
Purpose of review: An increasing number of patients are being diagnosed with pancreatic cysts.
3
Objective: To define a group of patients with pancreatic cysts who do not require resection.
4
Summary: The diagnosis and management of patients with pancreatic cysts have progressed significantly in recent years.
5
Conclusions: Risk factors other than cyst size are important for determination of malignancy in pancreatic cysts.
6
Cyst fluid analysis for amylase and carcinoembryonic antigen aids in the preoperative classification of pancreatic cysts.
7
Conclusions: Cyst fluid telomerase activity can be a useful predictor of the neoplastic grade of pancreatic cysts.
8
The addition of EUS-FNA to abdominal imaging significantly increases overall accuracy for diagnosis of neoplastic pancreatic cysts.
9
Background and aims: Early diagnosis of cancer in pancreatic cysts is important for timely referral to surgery.
10
We established a scoring system for predicting the presence of one or more pancreatic cysts using a split-sample method.
11
Summary background data: The increased use of cross-sectional imaging has resulted in an increased identification of small, asymptomatic pancreatic cysts.
12
Objectives: There are currently no diagnostic indicators that are consistently reliable, obtainable, and conclusive for diagnosing and risk-stratifying pancreatic cysts.
13
We further validated these combinatorial markers on an independent cohort of 130 pancreatic cysts, and achieved high and well-balanced accuracies.
14
Methods: We performed retrospective analyses of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and pathology databases identifying pancreatic cysts with available final pathological diagnoses.
15
However, whether patients with pancreatic cysts have a higher long-term risk of pancreatic cancer (PaCa) has still not been established.
16
We investigated the prevalence and predictive factors for the presence of pancreatic cysts within a large number of subjects via general health examination.
