ID: 3521525 DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF INTRACYSTIC CONCENTRATIONS OF GLUCOSE AND CEA IN IDENTIFYING MUCIN PRODUCING CYSTIC NEOPLASMS OF THE PANCREAS: A MULTICENTER RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY OF HISTOLOGICALLY-PROVEN CYSTS

Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) are encountered incidentally in 2.4-19.6% of the general population and the mucinous subtypes carry malignant potential. Differentiating mucinous from non-mucinous PCLs can present a diagnostic challenge. Current guidelines recommend the use of cyst fluid carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) to identify mucinous PCLs, however its sensitivity and specificity can vary widely. Through the needle biopsy or DNA mutational...
