Montell Jordan Says Prostate Cancer Has Returned and Plans 7½ Weeks of Proton Radiation

He is documenting the fight and partnering with a prostate‑cancer nonprofit to promote PSA screening for men at higher risk.

Overview

  • Jordan announced on NBC’s Today that cancer was detected nearly a year after his radical prostatectomy.
  • Follow-up testing found a small amount of disease in the prostate bed and in lymph nodes on the left side.
  • He will undergo proton radiation five days a week for about 7½ weeks and begin hormone‑blocking therapy.
  • His cancer, first flagged by elevated PSA in early 2024, was upgraded to stage 2 on post‑surgery pathology.
  • He is filming the documentary Sustain and working with ZERO Prostate Cancer to encourage earlier PSA testing, especially for Black men who face higher incidence and mortality.
