Senator Edward Kennedy says he has a malignant brain tumor. Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say the discovery came as a result of tests conducted after Mr Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend. His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy. The 76-year-old senator has been hospitalized in Boston since Saturday, when he was airlifted from Cape Cod after a seizure at his home.
