Core Tip With the increasing diagnosis of asymptomatic pre-malignant pancreatic cysts, there is a growing need for accurate and affordable diagnostic tests. The goal is to detect and resect early malignancy, while avoiding unnecessary follow-up in benign cysts and surgery in low-risk cysts. Genetic testing is promising, but with current diagnostic limitations, significant costs, logistic difficulties in preserving material for future analysis, and technical complexity, its generalized use seems difficult. If microforceps biopsy proves in larger studies to be safe and to allow correct diagnosis, it may be immediately implemented, because the endoscopic procedure is standard, and histology is widespread in clinics.
