Sendai and Fukuoka Consensus Guidelines Identify Advanced Neoplasia in Patients With Suspected Mucinous Cystic Neoplasms of the Pancreas

摘要

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Little is known about whether the 2006 Sendai guidelines or 2012 Fukuoka guidelines are being used to determine the level of risk posed by suspected pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasms (PCNs). We evaluated whether the guidelines accurately predicted which patients with suspected PCNs, which was based on cross-sectional imaging findings, would be found to have advanced neoplasia in surgery.
