I think for pancreatic cancer early detection just means it gives you more time to enjoy a slightly longer bucket list. For bowel cancers however, this could potentially buy many extra years since it's currently difficult to detect early.

One reason why pancreatic is so fatal is it doesn’t tend to get diagnosed until quite late, so this test could help here. But really early cancer (no identified mass) is more of a watch and wait thing.
