ABSTRACT
Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) have become more prevalent over time, particularly in asymptomatic individuals. Current screening guidelines for incidental PCLs offer a unified approach to surveillance and management, predicated on "worrisome features." Although PCLs are common in the general population, their prevalence may be higher in high-risk individuals (HRI, unaffected patients with specific familial and/or genetic risk factors). As more PCLs are diagnosed and more HRI identified, it is important to promote research that bridges data gaps and introduces nuance to risk assessment tools, ensuring tailoring of guidelines to the needs of HRI with varying pancreatic cancer risk factors.
