Patrick Swayze is undergoing an experimental treatment in a bid to beat pancreatic cancer, according to reports. The actor, whose battle with the disease was revealed earlier this month, is trying out revolutionary new surgical tool the CyberKnife.
According to National Enquirer - which broke news of Swayze's cancer plight - the CyberKnife delivers high doses of radiation to pinpoint precision, without damaging surrounding tissue. It's hoped the treatment - taking place at Stanford University's Cancer Center in California - will stop the cancer growing, or shrink the pancreas so it can be removed.
