IPMN: surgical treatment

Abstract: Since patients with IPMN of the pancreas are at risk of developing recurrent IPMN and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the remnant pancreas and extrapancreatic malignancies, early recognition, treatment, and systemic surveillance are of great importance. No conclusions can be drawn from the available evidence with respect to the efficacy of surveillance and follow-up treatment programs. A better understanding of the natural course of IPMN and the biology of pancreatic cancer is mandatory to enable further d… Show more

“…Recent reports show that preventive surgery is recommended for MD‐type IPMNs due to the high risk of malignant transformation (on average 70%). On the other hand, the management of BD‐type IPMNs remains debated as estimated risk of malignancy varies between 6% and 46% . Routine cross‐sectional imaging such as ultrasound imaging (US), multidetector computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been frequently used to detect and diagnose IPMNs .…”

“…IPMNs have the potential for malignancy. IPMN of pancreas is defined as mucin producing cystic neoplasms with intraductal papillary projections of tall columnar epithelium (1,2). On the other hand, the term IPMN of intra/extrahepatic bile duct was introduced and it has a more favorable prognosis compared with conventional cholangiocarcinoma.These tumors ( IPMN of pancreas and IPMN of biliary tract) share many, but not all, clinical, histopathological and genetic features (3,4).…”

“…Due to the high risk of malignancy of 60–90% in main-duct and mixed-type IPMN (fig. 1 ), these two entities represent indications for surgical treatment by the time of their diagnosis [ 1 , 2 ]. Surgical therapy must be in accordance with an oncological principle which implies a formal pancreatic resection and lymphadenectomy.…”
