Posted on March 20th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Reportedly Patrick Swayze is undergoing an experimental treatment in a bid to beat deadly pancreatic cancer. The Dirty Dancing actor, whose battle with the disease was revealed earlier this month, is trying out revolutionary new surgical tool the CyberKnife.
The CyberKnife delivers high doses of radiation to pinpoint precision, without damaging surrounding tissue.
The doctors at Stanford Cancer Center administering the treatment, are hoping this treatment will be effective enough to stop the cancer from growing, or shrink the pancreas so it can be removed.
