Early diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is crucial for improving prognosis, but it is challenging to diagnose PDAC at an early stage. Pancreatic cystic lesions or main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilatation are important indirect findings for the initial diagnosis of HG-PanIN. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) play significant roles in detecting abnormal image findings.
Early diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is essential for improving prognosis; however, diagnosing PDAC at an early stage is challenging. In patients with localized high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PanIN), whose tumorous lesion is undetectable on cross-sectional images such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance image, long-term survival is expected. Pancreatic cystic lesions or main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilatation are important indirect findings for the initial diagnosis of HG-PanIN. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) should play important roles in detecting abnormal image findings, such as local irregular MPD stenosis, caliber MPD changes, small cystic lesions, or branch duct dilatation. Additionally, EUS could detect hypoechoic areas around the MPD stenosis in some patients with HG-PanIN. Subsequently, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and its associated pancreatic juice cytology, including serial pancreatic juice aspiration cytologic examination (SPACE) after placement of an endoscopic nasopancreatic drainage (ENPD) tube, may have high diagnostic accuracy for confirming the malignancy in HG-PanIN. Although ERCP and its associated pancreatic cytology, including SPACE, may be associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), a recent randomized trial suggested that a 4-Fr ENPD tube may reduce the incidence of PEP. In the future, further prospective multicenter studies are required to establish a standard method of SPACE. Additionally, further studies for novel biomarkers could help to establish evolutionary methods with duodenal fluid and pancreatic juice for the early and accurate diagnosis of early-stage PDAC.
