The chief surgeon, Vialli’s operation went smoothly in 2017, but the tumor still spread

January 7th Italian football and Juventus star Vialli died of pancreatic cancer at the age of
58 years old.
In an interview with a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport, Zelby, the surgeon in charge of pancreatic cancer surgery for Vialli in 2017, said that the operation went smoothly at the time, but unfortunately the tumor still spread in the end.

How did you meet Vialli?

"We had known each other at the Humanities Hospital in Milan when he had some symptoms and asked me what caused them. He had jaundice, one of the early symptoms of this tumor."

How did Vialli react after learning he had the disease?

"At that time, Vialli was very brave and kept awake. Later, Vialli sent me his autobiography, which described in detail his feelings about the operation and after surgery."

You performed surgery on him in 2017, did the surgery go well?
Why does the condition relapse?

"How can this tumor be prevented? The latest reports point to smoking, sedentary behavior, and obesity as contributing factors to this disease, which may also lead to other cancers, or cause other diseases. In other cases, genetic or gene sequence changes
