How fast does adenocarcinoma grow??

This is off topic, sorry. But since cancer centers were mentioned - could I ask a question?
I don’t see MD Anderson, Houston, mentioned very often with these posts on PC. Is it known to have less of a focus on care in this area?
Tiny pancreatic cysts (2-3 mm) were found on a MRI while confirming left adrenal enlargement, June 2025 at Baylor Scott & White. Radiology reported they reflected BD IPMNs.
An abdominal CT scan at MD Anderson looking for tamoxifen related uterine cancer from 2024 did not show any pancreatic issues . . .but again, tiny cysts. I’m already a 2022 breast cancer patient at MD Anderson; I’m 3.5 hrs away from the center.
I have an October appt at MDA with a gastroenterologist to review the scan. I expect the recommendation will be for another scan in 2026 as this is so small.
However, if I need treatment in the future I’d want to be where the best care is and if I’m traveling it doesn’t matter the direction.

You can reach out to PanCAN.org for pancreatic centers of excellence; based mainly on volume of treatment I believe. MD Anderson is highly regarded in this field and many others. They may be one of the top facilities in terms of clinical trials. We don’t discuss facilities as much here, as we do managing symptoms and next steps. I hope that helps!
