This study is looking for better ways to find out if pancreatic cysts (fluid-filled sacs in the pancreas) have changes that could become cancer. Researchers are testing new methods using samples of your blood, stool, pancreatic juice, and cyst fluid. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have certain types of pancreatic cysts (Fukuoka worrisome or high-risk criteria), and have not had pancreatic cancer or surgery before. The study aims to see if these new tests can help diagnose high-grade dysplasia (pre-cancerous cells) or cancer within 5 years. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 800 participants. Participants will be assigned to either an Immediate Surgery group or a Clinical Follow-up group based on their doctor's decision.

What's involved

You would provide blood and stool samples at the beginning of the study. If you are in the Immediate Surgery group, you might also have pancreatic juice collected and undergo pancreatic surgery or an endoscopy exam (endoscopic ultrasound).

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The study will measure outcomes related to biospecimen acquisition and cancer diagnosis for 5 years.
