Incidental pancreatic cysts are often diagnosed during cross-sectional abdominal imaging. The management of these cysts can be a dilemma since it is difficult to determine which are at risk for progressing to malignancy. Dr. Lennon’s presentation will cover how novel molecular techniques provide a promising method to help distinguish which cysts are malignant or at risk of progression.
