| Core Tip |
This letter critically appraises the study by Hopley et al on the de-escalation of branch duct-intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm surveillance. While the proposed criteria for de-escalation are timely, we emphasize that the front-loaded nature of surgery may partly reflect discovery bias and therefore may not fully represent the intrinsic biological timing of disease progression. We highlight the need for tailored surveillance based on individual surgical fitness and the persistent long-term risk of dual carcinogenesis involving both intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm progression and concomitant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, which continues beyond the 5 years. |
