Résumé

Le cancer du pancréas est un cancer relativement rare, mais au pronostic très sombre. Le rapport incidence/décès est de 0,99. Le taux de survie à cinq ans, tous stades confondus, est l’un des plus bas, il est d’environ 5 % en Europe comme aux États-Unis. Donc, c’est très préoccupant en matière de santé publique. Le dépistage du cancer pancréatique permettant un diagnostic précoce de la maladie, et donc augmentant les chances de traitement curatif, n’existe pas. Le cancer pancréatique est dans la plupart des cas sporadique. Néanmoins, il existe des formes familiales de cette affection tumorale qui sont responsables d’une proportion importante, plus de 10 % des cas leur sont imputables. Dans cette revue, on s’est focalisé sur la génétique du cancer pancréatique, particulièrement le cancer pancréatique survenant dans un contexte familial.

Abstract

Pancreatic cancer, although relatively rare, does have a very poor prognosis. The ratio of incidence to deaths is 0.99. The survival rate at five years from all stages is one of the lowest, at around 5% in both Europe and the USA. It is therefore a serious public health issue. Screening for pancreatic cancer, which would enable an early diagnosis to be made and thus increase the chances of being cured, does not exist. In the majority of cases, pancreatic cancer is sporadic. However, there are familial forms of this disease, which are responsible for a significant proportion of cases, with more than 10% of cases being attributable to this type. In this review, focus is on the genetics of pancreatic cancer, in particular pancreatic cancer occurring within the same family.
