CT Surveillance for Local Recurrence After Pancreatic Cancer Resection: Evaluation of Imaging Findings From the SAR Disease-Focused Panel Consensus Statement.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND. A Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Disease-Focused Panel (DFP) consensus statement described findings suspicious for local recurrence (LR) on surveillance imaging after PDAC resection. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate interreader agreement and predictive utility of potential imaging findings of LR on serial surveillance CT examinations after the Whipple procedure for PDAC, using the SAR PDAC DFP consensus statement. METHODS. This retrospective study included 126 patients (mean age, 68.5 ± 10.3 [SD] years; 72 men, 54 women) who underwent the Whipple procedure for PDAC between January 2009 and December 2014. Three radiologists independently reviewed baseline and subsequent postoperative contrast-
