Abstract
With the progress of imaging technology and the popularization of healthy examination, the detection rate of pancreatic cystic neoplasm(PCN) has increased significantly. PCN has complex disease spectrum, strong heterogeneity, and diverse surgical treatment strategies. Surgical timing and methods directly affect patients' prognosis. Therefore, how to identify malignant tumors and formulate reasonable treatment strategies are the keys to treat PCN. Many guidelines for clinical diagnosis and treatment of PCN have been released, but there are still many disputes about its surgical indications. Hence, fully assessing the surgical indications is of great significance to improve the PCN patients' prognosis. This paper deeply discusses on the surgical indications of PCN by reviewing the current clinical diagnosis, treatment and research progress of PCN, in order to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of PCN.
