(paragraph 4: "Pancreatic cancer * * * is now the third-most-common cause of cancer death in the U.S., surpassing breast cancer for the first time ever last year. More than 53,000 people will receive a pancreatic cancer diagnosis this year, and about 73% of those people will die within a year of that diagnosis")

My comment: There is no need to read the rest, which is about a biotech in Boston suburb that wants to find a treatment for the disease. We can learn more if it ever succeed.
