Former Beatle George Harrison has entered Staten Island University Hospital in New York to undergo a new cancer treatment, sterotactic radiosurgery, during which tumors can be targeted with high doses of radiation while leaving surrounding tissue untouched, the London Daily Telegraph reported today (Thursday). The hospital declined to confirm that Harrison had been admitted. A source told the newspaper that he looked "frail and gaunt" when he entered. "The word around the hospital is that the procedure he is having is the last chance of saving his life," the source said. In the late '70s and early '80s, Harrison had a successful career as a film producer. His Handmade Films produced such features as Monty Python's The Life of Brian, Time Bandits, and Mona Lisa.
