Hi @lightandhope ,

Does this study address what you were looking for regarding outcomes from early screening?

Abstract: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29803839/
"Conclusions: In a long-term (16-year) follow-up study of individuals at high-risk for PDAC, we found most PDACs detected during surveillance (9/10) to be resectable, and 85% of these patients survived for 3 years. "

Full paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6120797/
Table 2 in this paper is interesting -- seems to show a lot of long-term survivors.

Sorry for the very late response. I am just checking this message board after a long break. I am going to read it carefully as it is dense for me. However, the topline seems really hopeful!!
