Abstract

Surveillance strategies following resection for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are heterogeneously described. Understanding patterns of recurrences, risk factors for recurrences, and mechanisms by which recurrences occur is important for informing contemporary management. This review incorporates nearly 25 years of IPMN experience to emphasize noninvasive IPMN outcomes, categorize risk factors that contribute to recurrence, and, most importantly, describe overall recurrence risks. Aggregated, the rates for overall recurrence rate, remnant recurrence, invasive cancer, and invasive cancer within the pancreatic remnant are 9, 7, 2, and 1%, respectively, with a median time-to-recurrence of 33 months. These results provide a surveillance framework for capturing and intervening on most clinically relevant recurrences.
