Fate of Patients With Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms of Pancreas After Resection According to the Pathology and Margin Status

Abstract

Invasive IPMN developed more recurrences and had worse survival than LGD or HGD, indicating the need for more efficient postoperative treatment strategies. Patients with LGD and HGD also need regular follow-up for recurrence after 5 years. Malignant margins need additional resection to achieve negative or at least LGD margin.
