This book provides a detailed, up-to-date overview of cystic
tumors of the pancreas, with coverage of all aspects of diagnosis
and treatment (medical, endoscopic, and surgical). After opening
chapters on pathology and classification, cytology, molecular
biology, and epidemiology, the role of each of the relevant
diagnostic methods is carefully examined. The treatment-related
chapters describe surgical approaches, including minimally
invasive surgery, as well as ablation modalities and
chemo-radiotherapy. Thorough guidance is also provided
specifically on the management of cystic tumors in high-risk
cases and on follow-up. The authors are global opinion leaders in
their field who have contributed cutting-edge chapters, with
emphasis on clear diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms and with
numerous supporting tables and illustrations.

Owing to the widespread use of imaging modalities, clinicians are
being confronted by an increasing number of patients with cystic
tumors of the pancreas, ranging from benign cysts to metastasized
malignancies. The widening spectrum of available diagnostic
measures has resulted in controversy over the choice of further
means of investigation when cystic changes are encountered, and
the growth in therapeutic options has similarly been accompanied
by considerable debate over their use. Against this
