概要 Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is a well-recognized precursor of pancreatic carcinoma. Along with cross-sectional abdominal imaging tests, endoscopic examinations remain the cornerstone in the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts, early detection of IPMN-derived carcinomas, and risk stratification of patients with IPMNs for subsequent surveillance strategies. In particular, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) facilitates the optimal patient management by providing high-resolution morphological information, and the contrast-enhanced harmonic mode may further enhance diagnostic accuracy. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration for solid mass and/or cyst fluid is considered for pathological and molecular examinations for the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts and malignancy. Emerging evidence suggests the usefulness of through-the-needle biopsy and confocal laser microendoscopy in this setting. In addition to the undoubtful diagnostic utility, recent studies have demonstrated the potential effect of endoscopic interventions (i.e., ablation) on the control of IPMNs. Despite the increasing role of endoscopy in the clinical management of IPMNs, there remains a gap in our understanding of how to utilize endoscopy in the personalized care for patients with IPMNs (e.g., the optimal interval of EUS) and the prevention of deaths due to pancreatic carcinomas developing concomitantly with IPMNs. This review summarizes the current evidence on the role of endoscopy in both the diagnostic and therapeutic landscapes of clinical management of IPMNs and identifies key clinical unmet needs that should be addressed in future research. Combined with emerging technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence and high-throughput molecular profiling), endoscopy would offer more effective and tailored management strategies for patients with IPMNs.
