Physician update

Details: Hilary Cosby, or hcosby1 jhmi. Since the mortality of a major pancreatic operation is about two percent to three percent, if we operated on everyone with a pancreatic cyst, statistically as many people would die from the procedure as would be saved. Therefore, selecting patients who will most benefit from the surgery—that is the ones whose risk of cancer exceeds the risk of the operation—is critical.

The key to a good outcome is being cared for by a g roup of clinicians who have a thorough understanding of the complex treatment plan for managing IPMNs. For instance, patients with a main-duct IPMN are clear candidates for surgery based on a high risk of malignancy. On the other hand, patients with a side-branch IPMN have a much lower risk of developing a cancer and may not require an operation, provided they meet certain criteria.
