Question:

What are the measures taken in response to MCN?

Author: H K



Answer:

Since it has potential of malignancy, surgical resection is done to all of them, distal pancreatectomy w/ or w/out splenectomy is procedure of choice. 5 year survival rate is excellent for benign and borderline MCN (100% cure), and no need for long-term surviellence of pt since they are never multifocal (after resection of non-invasive MCN), while invasive MCN 5-year survival is 30-63%
