Dennis Hopper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is canceling
all travel plans to focus on treatment, his manager says.

The 73-year-old actor and artist is being treated through a "special
program" at the University of Southern California, Sam Maydew said
Thursday.

Asked about Hopper's prognosis, Maydew said, "We're hoping for the
best." He would not elaborate on the actor's condition.

Hopper was forced to cancel his appearance at an exhibition of his
artwork and photography at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image
in Melbourne. Called "Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood," the show
celebrates "the work and life of an extraordinary filmmaker, artist
and key figure in the evolution of America's cultural scene from the
1950s to today."

Hopper was hospitalized in New York earlier this month and treated for
dehydration. Hopper has several film projects in the works.
