AGA guideline addresses asymptomatic neoplastic pancreatic cysts


 

References

Finally, this AGA guideline pertains only to asymptomatic neoplastic pancreatic cysts. It doesn’t address lesions such as solid papillary neoplasms, cystic degeneration of adenocarcinomas, neuroendocrine tumors, or main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms without side-branch involvement, because identification of these lesions is more straightforward and the accepted management approach is surgical resection, Dr. Vege and his associates added.
