Yeah, the top killer is cancer for middle-aged adults before really old ages, as per the ranking tables -- age 45 - 84

Thanks for the deep backgound. There is not much progress on this particular cancer.

Some of these cancers are difficult to detect until they've spread beyond local, but also even when detected while local tumors, we still don't have good treatments.

Not only pancreatic, but also liver cancer, stomach cancer, ... well, several still out there where it's not great.
