Mistakes in pancreatic cystic neoplasms and how to avoid them

Marco Del Chiaro, Juan Enrique Dominguez-Munoz, Giovanni Marchegiani

Summary

AI Generated

Pancreatic cystic neoplasms are frequent lesions with varying biological behaviour that require tailored management to balance cancer prevention against overtreatment.

  • Pancreatic cystic neoplasms may be present in 2–45% of the general population and prevalence increases with age
  • Different types of pancreatic cystic neoplasms range from benign to malignant and require different surveillance and therapeutic approaches
  • Correct management is critical for avoiding progression to cancer while preventing unneeded follow-up, unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures, and overtreatment

Abstract

Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN) are a frequent and clinically challenging condition. PCN prevalence increases with age and reports estimate that they may be present in 2–45% of the general population. In addition, the biological behaviour of the various types of PCN differs (ranging from benign to malignant [table 1]), requiring different surveillance and therapeutic approaches. Correct management of PCN is, therefore, critical for avoiding progression to cancer, but at the same time avoiding unneeded close and long-term follow-up, unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures and overtreatment.

Abstract

Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for about 90% of cases and mostly arises in chronic liver disease, especially cirrhosis. Viral hepatitis remains a leading cause, but alcohol-related disease and MASLD are rising. With immune checkpoint inhibitors transforming HCC management, it is timely to highlight common mistakes across screening, staging, diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract

Peritoneal malignancies represent a complex and often misjudged clinical challenge. Historically synonymous with a terminal diagnosis, the advent of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) radically altered the prognosis for selected patients. However, progress has been jeopardised by a series of recurring and preventable errors in diagnosis, staging, and treatment selection. This article delineates the ten most critical pitfalls in managing peritoneal surface malignancies. For each pitfall, we provide evidence-based explanations, concrete clinical examples, and strategic recommendations for avoidance. We emphasise the pivotal role of early multidisciplinary discussion, precise imaging, and timely referral to high-volume expert centres to optimise patient outcomes and offer curative intent where previously there was none.
