Roger Ebert to get radiation

Film critic Roger Ebert will undergo radiation treatment for a cancerous tumor in his salivary gland.

The 61-year-old critic underwent surgery in February 2002 for cancer in his thyroid and in February 2003 for cancer in his salivary gland.

Ebert said he will "continue to see movies, write reviews and do the 'Ebert & Roeper' television show."

He described the treatments as "a follow-up to earlier surgery" and said it is "not considered to be a life-threatening form of cancer."
