You can't cure cancer. He was successfully treated and I believe the cancer went into remission, but to say the prognosis is grim might be the understatement of the millenium. Less than 5% of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survive 5 years. Median survival is only 3-6 months from diagnosis. It is an extremely efficient killer.

It's my understanding that pancreatic cancer survival rates vary significantly by type and that Jobs has an (extremely) rare type that has fairly good survival rates.
I hope so.
Probably, but there's always a risk that it might come back. Or it could be something else all together. Either way he won't live forever.
He apparantly had a heart attack a couple days ago.
