News of a tumor in Douglas' throat was released Monday. People magazine is reporting that the star known for his gravelly voice will soon undergo eight weeks of chemotherapy and radiation. "It tells you that it's probably an intermediate stage cancer," said Hu, who is not involved with Douglas' treatment. The two months of treatment, he said, will likely preserve Douglas' voice box though he may be noticeably more hoarse by the end. More aggressive treatment, he said, such as surgery, carries a much more significant risk of permanently damaging the voice. Hu said Douglas' will have to stop smoking, if he hasn't already, for the treatment to work properly. "Smoking probably caused the cancer," he said."But smoking during the radiation makes the radiation less effective."
