Abstract

Due to the fatal prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma, great efforts have been made to investigate precursor lesions of invasive neoplasia during the last few years. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanIN) have been recognized as precursor lesions of ductal adenocarcinoma, and are classified into different grades from PanIN-1A, -1B, -2, to -3. Molecular analyses have helped to define a progression model for pancreatic neoplasia. The most important step seems to be the occurrence of a PanIN-3 lesion defining a high risk of malignant transformation.
