I have 2 branch ipmn of the pancreatitis and dilation of duct 9mm. Having regular 6monthly MRI. How long do you expect the monitoring to go on before they turn cancerous. I have had 3 episodes of pancreatitis and recovered quickly. No symptoms at all. Amylase during each attack 1500 and above.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of pancreatitis.  Its cured well with the treatment. You also have duct dilatation.  You should check CA 19.9. It is marker of pancreas cancer.  If it remains normal then no need to worry. Go for regular monitoring.  Nothing else is required. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
