Sen. Specter, Judiciary Panel Chair, Has Cancer

U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and author of a bill to create an asbestos compensation fund, is ill with cancer, his office said on Wednesday.

Specter, 75, has Hodgkin's disease, a cancer of the lymph system that has a five-year survival rate of 70 percent, his office said. The senator has an "excellent chance" of being completely cured, his oncologist, John Glick, said in the announcement.
