Surgery following observation of branch-duct ipmn reveals dynamic predictors of malignancy: significance of cyst stability vs progression. Results of the "cros" multicentric study

Presenter: Tommaso Pollini MD | University of Verona Background: The progression to malignancy of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas is still poorly understood. Observational and surgical series have failed to provide comprehensive knowledge. The aim of the current study was to identify dynamic predictors of malignancy development combining pathological features with data from preoperative repeated observations....
