CARACAS, Venezuela ? Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he expects to undergo one more round of chemotherapy and that it should be the last phase in his cancer treatment.
Chavez says he will probably begin a fourth round in the coming days. He says he will then undergo tests to verify that no malignant cells have reappeared.
Chavez underwent an operation in June that removed a tumor from his pelvic region.
The president said in a telephone call on state television Tuesday morning that after the next round of chemotherapy, he expects to transition to a new recovery phase that will include more exercise.
Chavez noted that he plans to host a summit of Latin American and Caribbean leaders in Venezuela on Dec. 2.
