Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive type of cancer with an overall 5-year survival of around 10 %. New prognostic tools to stratify patients are needed. Our main aim was to evaluate the prognostic value of overall copy number variation (CNV) burden in surgically treated PDAC. DNA extracted from 108 surgical PDAC specimens was examined to collect data on the genome-wide DNA methylation status...
