Hunter Tylo's 4-month-old daughter, Katya, has a rare form of eye cancer called retinoblastoma, which was diagnosed after the actress noticed the girl's eye wasn't dilating as it should.

"We learned that there are many treatments to cure retinoblastoma and thankfully the cure rate is extremely high," said Tylo, who won a $4.9 million judgment in December after being fired from "Melrose Place" for becoming pregnant.Retinoblastoma strikes about one in 15,000, she said. The disease typically appears in children under age 5. Treatments could include removal of the eye and chemotherapy. Katya was born Jan. 15.

Tylo and her husband, Michael, have four children.
