It's worth pointing out that Jobs specifically had an islet cell tumour, which is a pretty distinct form of pancreatic cancer and has a 5-year survival rate of maybe 50-60%.

(This is not to make a point about any personal health decisions he may have taken, but just to clarify why you will often hear his cancer being described as "curable").

Thanks for clarifying the specific type of cancer. But I still think it’s inaccurate to call a 50-60% survival rate cancer as “curable.”
