Towards optimal pancreatic cyst fluid management: the need for standardisation

We read with interest the paper by Singhi et al .1 The authors prospectively assessed using targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) 626 pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) samples from 595 patients. They found that compared with Sanger sequencing, cytology and CEA, preoperative NGS for KRAS/GNAS mutations is highly sensitive for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and specific for mucinous pancreatic cysts (PCs). Moreover, alterations in...
