Unless you're a doctor who treated Jobs, I doubt we can make any claim about whether his choices killed him or not.
Let's not forget that Jobs underwent a surgery to remove the first round of cancer, and then ended up getting a liver transplant (probably because his pancreatic cancer has metastised into this organ as well). Because of the immunosuppressive medication one has to take for the rest of one's life after a transplant, recurring cancer is extremely dangerous because the cancer can grow unbounded.
I don't really see how surgery and a transplant align with "smarter than medicine."
