Caracas:
A Venezuelan government TV channel says President Hugo Chavez is expected to seek approval from lawmakers to return to Cuba for a new round of cancer treatment.

Chavez said in a newspaper column published on Sunday that he was preparing for a "possible" new round of chemotherapy and that all of his hair has fallen out as a result of the treatment.
In his column, Chavez also saluted a group of young people in the Dominican Republic who shaved their heads in solidarity. State media reported that six of the Dominicans arrived on Saturday night to meet with Chavez.
