About this trial

This is a prospective, single-centre, observational study. The analysis of samples of pancreatic tumours and/or metastases taken during biopsy or surgery will lead to the determination of the level of expression of convertases in patients with pancreatic cancer and could be used as an additional prognostic means reinforcing those currently used.
