What can be done to detect this disease earlier? Latest data I saw indicates this is #3 cancer killer, barely behind colon cancer. Treat it like colonoscopy with a scan at 50? Is every 10 years too far apart? Read the scan by AI? I sit here wondering what I can do to be a change agent and am stymied.

@mookiehouston I learned a lot from this article about pancreatic cancer early detection. It actually has a short questionnaire for early detection help. Let me know what you think?
