UCSF PANC Cyst Registry

Population-Based Analysis of Neoplastic Changes in Cystic Lesions of the Pancreas.


Sponsor

University of California, San Francisco

Enrollment

4,000 participants

Start Date

Oct 8, 2019

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

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.

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is a registry at UCSF that tracks patients with pancreatic cysts — fluid-filled sacs in the pancreas — over time. It collects health information and follow-up data to better understand which cysts are at risk of becoming cancerous and how best to manage them. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 30 years old or older - You have at least one pancreatic cyst identified by imaging or endoscopy - You do not have a history of pancreatic cancer - You can read and speak English - You have access to a computer or mobile device - You can complete an electronic consent form **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a prior diagnosis of pancreatic cancer - You cannot read English - You do not have access to a digital device Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERSurvey

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.
