What is FDR? I have some cysts on my pancreas. My doctor said they are okay. How do they know they are okay?

Asking the same. I was looking for information on cysts, as I have 3( one supposedly burst or deflated) and they are called IPMN. They were discovered when I had a lung scan that discovered a nodule on my liver. Then I had an MRI of the liver, that determined that the nodule was nothing, but they found the cyst on my pancreas. Then they did an endoscopic biopsy that determined they were not malignant.
I have an MRI with contrast every year as a follow up. The Dr told me they will eventually become cancerous but hopefully not until my nineties.
