Montell Jordan Says Prostate Cancer Has Returned, Plans Proton Radiation

The 56-year-old singer is using the update to press for routine prostate screening, particularly for Black men at higher risk.

Overview

  • Jordan announced on the Today show that follow-up scans found cancer in his prostate bed and in lymph nodes on his left side.
  • He will receive proton radiation five days a week for about seven and a half weeks, alongside hormone-blocking therapy.
  • Initial PSA tests in early 2024 led to a diagnosis and a radical prostatectomy later that year, with margins initially reported clear.
  • After premature ‘cancer-free’ celebrations online, Jordan clarified he is not 100% cancer free and still requires treatment and monitoring.
  • He is partnering with ZERO Prostate Cancer and documenting his experience in a forthcoming film titled Sustain to encourage awareness and screening.
