• Stopping surveillance after five years if there is no change
• Surgery only if more than one concern is confirmed by endoscopic ultrasound
• Surgery only performed at centers with high volumes of pancreatic surgery
• Discontinuing surveillance after surgery if no invasive cancer or dysplasia is found
