Dennis Hopper Has Been Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer

Dennis Hopper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The ‘Easy Rider’ actor has now canceled all his travel plans as he focuses on getting treatment through a “special program” at the University of Southern California.

His manager Sam Maydew added: “We’re hoping for the best.”

The 73-year-old star had to cancel an appearance at Melbourne’s Australian Centre for the Moving Image, where a collection of his artwork and photography – ‘Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood’ – is being shown.

Last month, Dennis was released from a New York hospital after being treated for dehydration.

It was initially reported the 73-year-old star was suffering from flu-like symptoms, but further details of his illness were not been released.

I am so sorry to hear this. Hopefully the treatments will be successful.
