Dennis Hopper diagnosed with prostate cancer

Actor Dennis Hopper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is cancelling all forthcoming appearances to focus on treatment, his manager has said.

Sam Maydew revealed the star is undergoing a "special programme" of treatment in California, adding, "we're hoping for the best."

Earlier on this month the 73-year-old was admitted to hospital in New York.

It was disclosed the Easy Rider star was treated for severe flu-like symptoms and dehydration.

Hopper had been expected to appear at an exhibition in Australia, entitled Dennis Hopper And The New Hollywood, which was a collection of his artwork and photography.

Tony Sweeney, a spokesman for the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, said: "Obviously his health is the number one priority and we wish him a very speedy recovery."

The Oscar-nominated actor, who is also an accomplished writer, director and artist, is also known for films including Blue Velvet and Apocalypse Now.

He is currently appearing in a TV adaptation of the 2004 Oscar-winning film Crash.

Hopefully they diagnosed it early. Then his prospects for a complete recovery are excellent. Guys get your PSA test and prostate exam every year. While the PSA test is not a foolproof test for prostate cancer, it can alert your doctor to a potential problem that may need further investigation.

Saw Blue Velvet for the first time two nights ago. Finally found out who Dennis Hopper really was after just knowing that his name sounded familiar!

Anyone else see that movie lately? I love the "In Dreams" scene.
