This article is a little light on content, but bear in mind that they're only talking about adenocarcinoma pancreatic cancer. There are other tumors of the pancreas including neuroendocrine (aka the Steve Jobs kind) and squamous cell (hyper-rare yet somehow my father ended up with this).
The distinction in important because neuroendocrine can be treated with good outcomes. They're making good progress in treating adenocarcinomas (Drs Von Hoff and Borazanci in Scottsdale making good progress).
Some sort of early detection mechanism for all of these cancers would be amazing for everyone involved.
