UCSF PANC Cyst Registry

NCT04291651 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 4000

Last updated 2025-09-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pancreatic cysts are found incidentally on 15-50% of CT and MRIs for all indications and their prevalence is increasing. Many of these cysts may be precursors to pancreatic cancer, and thus pose a substantial risk, however, the vast majority are benign. Increased detection of pancreatic cysts provides an opportunity to diagnose pancreatic malignancy at an early, curable stage yet also increases the potential to over-treat clinically insignificant lesions. This presents a clinical challenge to prevent unnecessary resection of indolent disease, with associated risks of infections, bleeding, diabetes, and costly disability. Unfortunately, there is little information on the epidemiology and natural history of pancreatic cysts to help guide management.

Survey

There are no study-specific interventions, as this is a prospective registry. However, patients will be asked to complete approximately 1-2 hours worth of surveys on things such as demographics, medical and surgical history, and pancreatic cyst-specific questionnaires.
