There is no early detection for pancreatic cancer. So we don’t know what we can do yet. Right now by the time we detect it, we are dead.

An entire generation of early detection might create new methods to treat it. We don’t know what we don’t know.

> There is no early detection for pancreatic cancer

The third paragraph of the article says otherwise. Do you have some knowledge about this test not working?
