Cross-Modality Differences In Pancreatic Cyst Size Measurements May Affect Surgical Decision-Making
< .001).ConclusionSubstantial variability exists in preoperative size assessment of pancreatic cystic lesions, with 7.5-20% of cysts misclassified around the 3 cm cutoff. Given that cyst size is a key determinant of surgical intervention, reliance on a single modality may introduce bias into clinical decision-making. Multimodality assessment reduces discordance and may improve risk stratification.
