Apple = Steve Jobs. Jobs = Apple.

In 2004 he recovered from what he’d described as a “very rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor”.

Now rumours are afloat that he’s once again ill.

“The latest flurry of talk was set off on Monday when, in a conference call after the release of Apple’s earnings, a company executive responded to a question about Mr. Jobs’s condition by saying that it was ‘a private matter’,” says the New York Times. “But in recent weeks, Mr. Jobs has reassured several people that he is doing well …”

People who are close to Mr. Jobs say that he had a surgical procedure this year to address a problem that was contributing to a loss of weight. These people declined to be identified because Mr. Jobs had not authorized them to speak about his health.

On stage to unveil the iPhone 3G last month, Mr. Jobs’s gaunt appearance led to speculation that his cancer had returned. An Apple spokesman has said that in the weeks before the event Mr. Jobs picked up a “common bug” and was taking a course of antibiotics. An Apple spokeswoman declined further comment on Tuesday.

However, “Steve Jobs is arguably Apple’s single most valuable asset,” says Silicon Alley Insider.

“If he’s seriously ill, shareholders have every right to know this. The definition of “material information,” after all, is information that the average investor would consider important in making an investment decision–and it’s hard to see how an Apple investor would not consider Steve’s health material.”

Stray tuned.
