Summary

Study objective: To establish a long-term follow-up cohort of patients with IPMN, study the follow-up, clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of patients with IPMN, and provide a basis for clinical decisions and guidelines. Study design: This is a real world, multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study

Detailed description

Baseline assessment will be conducted on IPMN patients who meet the inclusion conditions and are included in the study with informed consent, including: ① demographic characteristics (such as age, gender, etc.); ② Clinical features (such as symptoms, complications, past history, family history, living/eating habits); ③ Characteristics of laboratory indicators (such as pancreatic function, liver enzyme, bile duct enzyme, CA199, CEA in blood; CA199, CEA in cystic fluid, etc.); ④ Imaging features \* (such as multiple or single lesions, diameter of cyst, whether there are mural nodules, diameter of main pancreatic duct, etc.); ⑤ Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) features \* (such as: cyst location, echo, maximum diameter, whether the cyst wall is thickened, wall nodules, the connection between the cyst and the main pancreatic duct, laser confocal endoscopy features, etc.); ⑥ Pathological information (cytology of cystic fluid; cytological smear of cystic lesion puncture, histopathology); ⑥ Molecular characteristics of cyst fluid (such as proteomics/mass spectrometry, new biomarkers, next generation sequencing (NGS), flora characteristics, etc.); ⑦ Treatment information (such as current medication, whether to have received endoscopic treatment, etc.). The follow-up contents include: outpatient follow-up (symptoms, laboratory indicators; keeping peripheral blood samples) every six months;, imaging follow-up (including enhanced pancreatic MR and EUS imaging; the first pancreatic MRI follow-up was conducted 6 months after enrollment to determine the stability of the lesions) at baseline and every 12 months thereafter. During the follow-up, if the patient died of various causes, the follow-up will be terminated; If enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance imaging or EUS imaging of the pancreas indicates worrisome features (WFs) or high-risk features (High risk stigmata, HRS), EUS-FNA ± nCLE should be performed (when performing EUS, perform contrast-enhanced ultrasonography on cystic lesions with mural nodules, and collect cystic fluid when puncturing some cystic lesions with sufficient volume). If the cytological/histological pathological results of FNA indicate cancer or high grade dysplasia (HGD), or/and cystic fluid cytological results are positive, surgical treatment is recommended; If the FNA and cyst fluid cytology results are negative, the patients with WF will be followed up 6 months later, while the HRS patients will be followed up 3 months later (whether to accept EUS examination is decided jointly by the follow-up physician and the patient). It is suggested to review EUS-FNA ± nCLE according to the imaging results. If the patient was advised to receive surgical treatment due to IPMN, the follow-up was terminated.
