Comparing Two Methods to Follow Patients With Pancreatic Cysts
About
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the two approaches for monitoring pancreatic cysts. The study doctors want to compare more frequent monitoring vs less frequent monitoring in order to learn which monitoring method leads to better outcome for patients with pancreatic cysts.

- Patient must be ≥ 50 years and ≤ 75 years of age.
