Alex Trebek, host of "Jeopardy!", Stated that his doctors claimed that he was "almost in remission" of advanced pancreatic cancer and that his response to treatment was "pretty staggering".
The 78-year-old TV personality told People magazine that he reacted very well to chemotherapy and the doctors told him "that they had not seen this kind of positive results in their memory. " Trebek said some of the tumors had decreased more than 50%.
Trebek announced his diagnosis in March, but said that he intended to continue working. He said he intends to overcome the low survival rate of the disease with the love and support of his family and friends and the prayers of viewers.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 3% of patients with stage 4 pancreatic cancer are alive 5 years after diagnosis.
Trebek says that he still has several treatment cycles to hope for a complete remission.
