| Core Tip |
The present paper is an editorial focused on the critical problems regarding the management strategy of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs). Being a pre-cancerous condition in most of the cases, PCNs represent a unique opportunity to prevent pancreatic cancer and to develop preemptive pancreatic surgery programs. However, the lack of predictive factors of the behaviour of these lesions, the low accuracy of pre-operative diagnostics, and the limited knowledge regarding the natural history of those lesions, result in a substantial risk for under- and over-treatment of patients with PCN and represent a high cost factor for the Health Care organization. The paper underscores the critical importance of both the current management of PCNs and the need for future research. |
