  Patients with Jobs's condition can survive for 20 years or more from the time of their original cancer diagnosis, and the surgery often gives good results, said Steven Brower, professor and chairman of surgery at Mercer University School of Medicine in Savannah, Georgia. Brower hasn't treated Jobs and doesn't know details of his condition.

  One option doctors have in these cases is to perform a liver transplant, Brower said.
  
  "It's one of the tumors for which transplantation can be considered," said Brower, who is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
  ...
  Brower said the transplant might work out well in a patient whose neuroendocrine cancer began in the pancreas, in part because this tumor type often spreads only to the liver and grows so slowly. Even after having had a Whipple procedure, a patient might expect to have good quality of life, he said.
  
  "The outcome can be quite good," he said. "With immunosuppressive drugs, the patient can expect to have a significant, durable life expectancy."
  
  Some liver transplant patients get part of an organ from a living donor. After the operation, the livers of the donor and recipient grow back to normal size.
  
  A patient getting a liver transplant for a neuroendocrine tumor that has spread from the pancreas might get a partial organ, Brower said. Complete organs that come from cadavers are in short supply, and are generally reserved for patients with liver failure, cirrhosis or certain kinds of liver cancer, he said.

  Bloomberg reported that a liver transplant was now an option for Steve Jobs, citing people "monitoring" his health with Steven Brower, a professor and chairman of surgery at Mercer University School of Medicine in Savannah, Georgia, being quoted at length.

  The little red flag is completely justified in this case, as the "people" amount to Steven Brower, professor and chairman of surgery at the Mercer University School of Medicine in Savannah, Georgia. While I'm sure that Mr Brower is very competent at what he does, he has absolutely no relation to Jobs whatsoever. He has not treated Jobs, he has not seen any medical records, no nothing.
  
  It is to be noted, however, that Bloomberg may have very well taken Brower's remarks out of context - I can imagine Brower saying something along the lines of "it is sometimes necessary for pancreatic cancer survivors to undergo a liver transplant", and Bloomberg turning that into the absolute statement that appeared in the final article. As you read further down the article, it appears that this is actually what happened: "One option doctors have in these cases is to perform a liver transplant," Brower said, "It's one of the tumors for which transplantation can be considered.
