Researchers assessed the timeline, location and patterns of recurrence in patients who achieved remission after radiofrequency ablation in a multicenter cohort study.

In a retrospective review, researchers demonstrated that cytology analysis of pancreatic samples collected by endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) can detect extravascular migratory metastases often missed by cross-sectional imaging.

Researchers identified and validated a panel of DNA methylation markers that can detect advanced neoplasia and help determine which cysts require surgery.
