Aug 08, 2013 |

US actor Dustin Hoffman, 75, has undergone successful treatment for cancer, his spokeswoman said on Tuesday, without specifying the details of the disease.
The cancer “was detected early and he has been surgically cured,” spokeswoman Judy Gottlieb told People magazine. “Dustin is feeling great and is in good health,” she added, later confirming the information to AFP. Hoffman, a two-time Best Actor Oscar winner for Rain Man in 1988 and Kramer versus Kramer in 1979, will continue with preventative measures to avoid a recurrence, the spokeswoman added. She did not specify what type of cancer he had.
