Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman has undergone treatment for cancer, the actor's publicist has confirmed.

Jodi Gottlieb did not reveal what kind of cancer the Tootsie star was diagnosed with, or when the diagnosis took place.

"Dustin is feeling great and is in good health," she said, adding that he will be continuing with preventative measures to avoid a recurrence of the disease.

He will appear in the comedy movie Chef with Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr next year.
