Abstract

Early detection of high-risk pancreatic cystic lesions enables potentially curative surgical resection, and early detection of lesions without worrisome features may lead to appropriate surveillance. Regrettably, differentiating premalignant and malignant cysts from nonmalignant ones remains challenging. However, emerging additional diagnostic tools, including the needle biopsy with microforceps and needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy, are of exciting potential along with cyst fluid analysis".
