ARCHIBISHOP Desmond Tutu is to be admitted to hospital in Atlanta in the United States on Thursday for tests to determine new treatment for prostate cancer, he said in a statement on Tuesday. Recent tests in Atlanta have indicated that his prostate cancer, first diagnosed and treated in 1997, has recurred. “I understand this is a fairly normal occurrence two years after radiation treatment,” Archbishop Tutu said in a statement from Atlanta. “On Thursday I will have an operation to determine whether the cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland. If it is confined to the prostate, I expect to undergo cryosurgery — a technique in which the affected tissue is frozen with liquid nitrogen.” “But I am feeling fine,” he said.
