| Abstract |
Over the past decades, our knowledge of the pancreas and pancreatic diseases increased enormously and we made remarkable progress in (minimally-invasive) endoscopic and surgical treatment options. However, several challenges remain and our current diagnostic and treatment strategies have room for improvement. In this thesis we investigated some of these unresolved issues in diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases. In each part of the thesis studies are presented that aimed to improve diagnosis and treatment of pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts and pancreatic cancer.
