I'm not sure that this is a good way to demonstrate data mining skills. The survival rate for pancreatic cancer is abyssal: > While five-year survival rates for pancreatic cancer are extremely low, early detection of the disease can prolong life in a very small percentage of cases. The study suggests that early screening can increase the five-year survival rate of pancreatic patients to 5 to 7 percent, from just 3 percent. WP claims 20%[1] though a glance at the referenced source suggests that the WP summary is bogus. So the only ones who benefit from this data mining would be health insurances who could get rid of people who'll incur very high treatment cost with low expectancy of success.
