The Academy Award-winner's publicist confirms that Hoffman was treated for cancer and "has been surgically cured".
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, nor when the diagnosis took place.
Ms Gottlieb said the cancer had been "detected early and he has been surgically cured".
The 75-year-old actor is set to undergo further preventative treatments to protect against the cancer returning, People magazine reported.
Hoffman, who won the best actor Oscar for his roles in 1979's Kramer vs Kramer and 1988's Rain Man, made his directorial debut with the 2012 comedy-drama Quartet.
He is set to star alongside Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr in the Jon Favreau-directed comedy Chef, which is set for release next year.
