Molecular Diagnosis of Cystic Neoplasms of the Pancreas: a Review

The prevalence of incidental pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) has increased dramatically with advancements in cross-sectional imaging. Diagnostic imaging is limited in differentiating between benign and malignant PCNs. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of biomarkers that can be used to distinguish PCNs. A review of the literature on molecular diagnosis of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas was performed. Pancreatic cysts can be...
