Core Tip Current guidelines for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm management inadequately distinguish indolent lesions from high grade dysplasia, resulting in both overtreatment and missed cancer. This evidence review critically examines established and emerging circulating and cyst fluid biomarkers, including molecular, inflammatory, and glycoprotein markers. We emphasize diagnostic performance, methodological limitations, and translational barriers. We highlight the impact of pooled histological endpoints, small surgical cohorts, assay heterogeneity, and lack of multicenter validation on the accuracy of the current studies. Finally, we outline the requirements needed to clinically integrate these biomarkers into intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm risk stratification.
