Conditions

The main objective of this study is to determine how physicians make decisions regarding surveillance of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm's (IPMN) of the pancreas.

The study will employ a survey design that poses physicians with a series of three clinical case vignettes. Each vignette describes an IPMN of varying severity, and the physician will be asked determine whether they would continue or discontinue clinical surveillance in each case.
