Résumé

Pancreatic cancer will soon become one of the most common causes of cancer death. Early detection of pancreatic cancer remains impossible and only 20% of patients are suitable for surgery once diagnosed. Even in this specific subgroup of patients, and despite improvements in surgery, overall survival remains poor, with an 80% recurrence rate. Consequently, many attempts have been made to prevent recurrence by adding chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or both.
