Patrick Swayze has been admitted to hospital with pneumonia.

Swayze has iv stage pancreatic cancer and experts say that his pneumonia could be related to treatments for his condition as chemotherapy spresses the imune system.

Swayze appeared on TV only a few days ago being interviewed by Barbara Walters about his battle with cancer and his new TV series The Beast.

Actor Patrick Swayze, who has stage IV pancreatic cancer, has checked himself into a hospital for observation because he has pneumonia.

Executives from A&E, the network behind Swayze's new TV show, The Beast, announced Swayze's hospitalization today in Las Vegas at the Television Critics Association.

Swayze, 56, was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer, which had already spread to his liver, in March 2008. Swayze spoke with ABC's Barbara Walters about his cancer and cancer treatment in a television interview that aired two days ago.
