Résumé
The rapid fatality of pancreatic cancer is, in large part, the result of diagnosis at an advanced stage in the majority of patients.

There is presently no biological or genetic indicator allowing the detection of patients at risk. Our main goal was to identify copy number variants (CNVs) common to all patients with sporadic pancreatic cancer.
