Dennis Hopper's manager says the star has prostate cancer.

The 73-year-old Oscar nominee is calling off his travel plans in order to receive treatment in a “special program” at the University of Southern California, his manager Sam Maydew tells the Associated Press.

“We’re hoping for the best,” Maydew says of the actor’s prognosis.

Hopper canceled his appearance at an exhibition in Melbourne, Australia that was to feature his own artwork and photography.
