Pancreatic Cyst Surveillance

Pancreatic cyst surveillance is a medical process used to monitor fluid-filled sacs (cysts) that form in the pancreas. These cysts can vary in size and may or may not cause health problems. Doctors use imaging tests, like ultrasounds or CT scans, to regularly check these cysts for any changes, such as growth or signs of cancer. The goal is to catch any potential issues early while ensuring that any necessary treatments can be done promptly. Regular surveillance helps manage risks and maintain the patient’s health effectively.
