One of my brothers was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer in Oct., 2016 and he died Christmas eve, 2016.
I am aware of the study. In the 70s when I was in training I was given a pc patient because it was so rare and the ptb thought that I would provide the level of work needed. It was a reward.
Now they have increased to6th or 8th in incidence.
