(Conditional; Very Low Quality of Evidence) Î The AGA recommends that if surgery is considered for a pancreatic cyst, patients are referred to a center with demonstrated expertise in pancreatic surgery. (Strong; Very Low Quality of Evidence) Î The AGA suggests that patients with invasive cancer or dysplasia in a cyst that has been surgically resected should undergo MRI surveillance of any remaining pancreas every 2 years. (Conditional; Very Low Quality of Evidence) Î The AGA suggests against routine surveillance of pancreatic cysts without high-grade dysplasia or malignancy at surgical resection.
