*Yield is defined as the detection of any pathologically proven (pre)malignant lesion (≥PanIN-2/IPMN and pancreatic adenocarcinoma) and lesions that are morphologically suspicious for branch-duct IPMNs.

†Includes only pathologically proven pancreatic neoplasms (histology or cytology).

‡Continuation of Brentnall 1999, included 14 high-risk individuals from Brentnall 1999.

§Test performed only as an additional test for detected abnormalities.

¶Includes baseline and follow-up.

**Continuation of Langer 2009, includes high-risk individuals from this series.

ERCP, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; EUS, endoscopic ultrasonography; FNA, fine-needle aspiration; FPC, familial pancreatic cancer; IPMN, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm; MRCP, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography; PJS, Peutz–Jeghers syndrome; PanIN, pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia.
