Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Individuals with a pancreatic cyst (either newly or previously diagnosed) • Cyst surveillance is warranted, according to the treating physician • Age >18 • Informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • History of chronic pancreatitis • Suspected pseudocyst • Suspected serous cystadenoma • Von Hippel-Lindau disease • Limited life expectancy (< 2 years)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcomes are: the number of patients that reach an indication for surgical cyst resection and the number of patients diagnosed with a malignant cyst (either high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes are: 1. the outcome of patients with an indication for cyst resection; i.e. the number of operated patients, surgical procedures, morbidity, mortality, and cyst recurrence 2. cyst evolution, in terms of development of symptoms, cyst growth, nodules, and secondary pancreatic duct dilatation 3. the perceived burden of surveillance on participants. 4. possible risk factors for malignancy, either patient or cyst related 5. to build a micro-simulation screening analysis (MISCAN) model, based on the outcome data of this study, in order to determine the optimal strategy for pancreatic cyst surveillance.
