American actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, his agent has confirmed.
However, his doctor said reports that the Dirty Dancing star had only five weeks to live were "absolutely untrue".
The 55-year-old is currently undergoing treatment and is continuing with his filming schedule.
Swayze's agent Annett Wolf added: "Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects.
"The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."
It is understood he has been working on two films due for release this year.
In 2006, Texan-born Swayze made his London West End debut in the musical Guys and Dolls.
