Diagnostic Strategies, Risk Assessment and Progression of Pancreatic Cysts

Description

The aims of this study are to determine the natural history of pancreatic cysts and to propose and prospectively validate a diagnostic approach and model for prediction of mucinous versus non-mucinous, and malignant versus non-malignant, pancreatic cysts using a combination of clinical, radiologic, and biomarker characteristics.

Conditions
