The vast majority of presumed branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMNs) of the pancreas are referred to a surveillance program due to the relatively low risk of malignancy. We aim to evaluate all available data from observational studies focused on the risks of BD-IPMN progression and malignancy to provide vital insights into its management in clinical practice.
A comprehensive search was conducted at PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science and Embase for observational studies published before January 1st, 2020. The progression of BD-IPMN was defined as the development of worrisome features (WFs) or high-risk stigmata (HRS) during surveillance. Overall malignancy was defined as all malignancies, such as malignant IPMN, concomitant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and other malignancies, including BD-IPMN with high-grade sec. Baltimore consensus 2015 or BD-IPMN with high-grade dysplasia (carcinoma in situ) sec. WHO 2010. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the presence of a mural nodule as a possible predictor of malignancy.
Twenty-four studies were included, with a total of 8941 patients with a presumed BD-IPMN. The progression rate was 20.2%, and 11.8% underwent surgery, 29.5% of whom showed malignancy at the final pathology. Of those, 78% had malignant IPMNs, and 22% had concomitant pancreatic cancer. Overall, 0.5% had distant metastasis. The meta-analysis showed that the risk of malignancy in the presence of a mural nodule >5 mm had a RR of 5.457 (95% CI 1.404-21.353), while a nonenhancing mural nodule or an enhancing mural nodule < 5 mm had a RR of 5.286 (95% CI 1.805-15.481) of harboring malignancy.
Most presumed BD-IPMNs entering surveillance do not become malignant. Of those submitted to surgery, concomitant PDAC adds to the overall risk of detecting malignancy.
由于恶性风险相对较低,绝大多数疑似胰腺分支导管内乳头状黏液性肿瘤(BD-IPMN)患者会进入监测程序。我们旨在评估来自观察性研究的所有可用数据,这些研究聚焦于BD-IPMN进展和恶性风险,以便为其临床管理提供重要见解。
在PubMed、Cochrane、Web of Science和Embase上对2020年1月1日前发表的观察性研究进行全面检索。BD-IPMN的进展定义为在监测期间出现可疑特征(WFs)或高危征象(HRS)。总体恶性肿瘤定义为所有恶性肿瘤,如恶性IPMN、伴发的胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)和其他恶性肿瘤,包括2015年巴尔的摩共识定义的高级别BD-IPMN或2010年世界卫生组织定义的高级别异型增生(原位癌)的BD-IPMN。进行荟萃分析以研究壁结节作为恶性肿瘤可能预测指标的存在情况。
纳入24项研究,共有8941例疑似BD-IPMN患者。进展率为20.2%,11.8%的患者接受了手术,其中29.5%在最终病理检查时显示为恶性。其中,78%患有恶性IPMN,22%患有伴发胰腺癌。总体而言,0.5%有远处转移。荟萃分析表明,壁结节>5 mm时发生恶性肿瘤的风险RR为5.457(95%CI 1.404 - 21.353),而无强化壁结节或强化壁结节<5 mm时发生恶性肿瘤的风险RR为5.286(95%CI 1.805 - 15.481)。
大多数进入监测的疑似BD-IPMN不会恶变。在接受手术的患者中,伴发的PDAC增加了检测到恶性肿瘤的总体风险。
