Abstract

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are a type of mucinous pancreatic cyst. IPMN have been shown to be pre-malignant precursors to pancreatic cancer, which has an extremely high mortality rate with average survival less than 1 year. The purpose of this analysis is to utilize methodological triangulation using artificial neural networks and regression to examine the impact and effectiveness of a collection of variables believed to be predictive of malignant IPMN pathology. Results indicate that the triangulation is effective in both finding a new predictive variable and possibly reducing the number of variables needed for predicting if an IPMN is malignant or benign.
