Trebek first revealed his cancer diagnosis in March, maintaining that he “plan[s] to beat the low survival-rate statistics for this disease.”
Alex Trebek has more good news to share regarding his cancer treatment: Less than three months after announcing his initial diagnosis, the Jeopardy! host is nearing remission, according to his doctors.
As Trebek revealed in an interview with People, some of his tumors “have already shrunk by more than 50 percent” following chemotherapy, despite the disheartening survival rate for Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Trebek’s chemotherapy is ongoing, and he currently plans to return to Jeopardy! for its 36th season this fall.
