GEEK: Steve Jobs Has Surgery for Cancer

The CEO of Pixar and Apple Computer underwent surgery to remove a rare form of pancreatic cancer. Steve Jobs alerted his employees in a company wide email that the surgery was a success. He also stated that he will not "require any chemotherapy or radiation treatments."

Jobs said that, in his absence, Tim Cook, head of worldwide sales and operations, will run the day-to-day operations of Apple, maker of the Macintosh computer and iPod portable digital music players.

Jobs also wrote that the far more common kind of pancreatic cancer "is called adenocarcinoma, which is currently not curable and usually carries a life expectancy of around one year after diagnosis."

"I mention this because when one hears 'pancreatic cancer' (or Googles it), one immediately encounters this far more common and deadly form, which, thank God, is not what I had," Jobs wrote.

Jobs will take August off and return running the computer company in September.
