Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- To determine the proportion of patients with malignancy in operable<br /><br>pancreatic cysts.<br /><br>- To determine the sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy of imaging<br /><br>(CT, MRI and EUS) in patients with pancreatic cysts.<br /><br>- To determine the factors associated with malignancy in pancreatic cyst using<br /><br>a multivariate model including clinical, radiologic, and molecular markers.<br /><br>- To develop and prospectively validate a panel of molecular markers to<br /><br>differentiate benign pancreatic cysts from those with malignant potential using<br /><br>surgical pathology as the gold standard.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- To determine the proportion of IPMN based on molecular markers.<br /><br>- To determine of the natural history of IPMN.<br /><br>- To collect tissue samples (cyst fluid and blood) for research on molecular<br /><br>markers in pancreatic cysts.</p><br>
