Characteristics and long-term survival of resected pancreatic cystic neoplasms in Finland. The first nationwide retrospective cohort analysis

摘要

Background: Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN) are being found increasingly in imaging studies. Even though the characteristics of PCN lesions have been studied extensively in single and multicentre settings, nationwide data is lacking. The aim of this study was to determine the nationwide epidemiologic characteristics and long-term survival of all resected PCNs.
