Lack of Routine Screening for Deadly Pancreatic Cancer

• Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at stage 4 due to the lack of a routine screening test.
• Common age-related tests include colonoscopy, mammogram, skin check, and eye exams.
• There is no standard recommendation for CT scans or MRIs to screen for pancreatic cancer.
• The rarity of early detection contributes to its high mortality rate.
• Doctors emphasize the need for awareness and potential future screening methods for pancreatic cancer.
