Not just pancreatic, but endocrine tumors in general. Ovarian, kidney, pancreatic, etc all tend to be caught late because they, typically, don’t produce symptoms until that point – and even then the symptoms may be vague and nondescript. By the time they’re diagnosed, the cancer has usually already metastisized making it much, much, harder to successfully treat.
