Incidental Pancreatic Cystic Lesions: Is There a Relationship with theDevelopment of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and All-Cause Mortality?

摘要

Our study demonstrated an increased risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in patients with an incidental pancreatic cyst found by using CT or MR imaging in a heterogeneous urban population; the relationship between an incidental pancreatic cyst and overall mortality was age-related because the all-cause mortality was considerably increased in those younger than 65 years and unchanged in those 65 years or older.
