GerPaCyst - The trial protocol of the prospective, multicenter, interdisciplinary German Pancreas Club Cyst Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cystic lesions of the pancreas have continued to present a clinical challenge for the past decades now. The increasing rate of detection, the lack of high-quality data on the natural biology of pancreatic cysts and the resulting difficulty to predict malignant transformation in different types of pancreatic cysts make patients with these diseases hard to manage. The German Pancreas Club Cyst Registry (GerPaCyst) (DRKS00025927) aims to establish a platform to discover and survey the natural and specific biology of pancreatic cysts such as IPMNs (main and branch ducts), SCNs, SPPT and MCNs, in a multicenter manner.
