- Unfortunately these don't use the same staging classes, nor do they seem to distinguish between the different types as the older figures in the article do - a very crucial difference. An updated version of the article's figures would be more useful I think, if the figures are still produced. The latest figures would be better, but not by all that much. They are not ACS figures, but from the SEER/NCI figures. Johnbod (talk) 18:52, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Outdated research ( and therapy?) section edit
When the first case report of a woman with recurrence of pancreatic cancer successfully treated with neoantigen T-Cell receptor gene therapy (DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2119662) came out in June 2022, I went to this page to look at the research directions and saw that refs were on average from 2014, i.e. outdated.
Today, after publication of a series of people pancreatic cancer who personalized RNA neoantigen vaccines https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06063-y) I applied the flag " update " to the section, because it hasnt changed in a year, still the same 9 year old refs.
I think featured articles should have to lose the star in the upper right hand corner at some point. The star- notice inhibits people from editing. Wuerzele (talk) 22:55, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
