Montell Jordan Says Prostate Cancer Has Returned, Plans Seven Weeks of Proton Radiation

He is using his diagnosis to urge earlier screening among men at higher risk.

Overview

  • Follow-up testing about nine months after his prostatectomy found cancer in lymph nodes on his left side and in the prostate bed.
  • He will undergo proton radiation five days a week for roughly seven weeks and begin hormone-blocking therapy to suppress tumor growth.
  • Jordan was first diagnosed in early 2024 after elevated PSA results led to further testing, and he chose a radical prostatectomy with what he was told were clear margins.
  • He is documenting his treatment in a forthcoming film titled Sustain and has launched an awareness partnership with the nonprofit ZERO Prostate Cancer.
  • He highlights that Black men face about 1.7 times higher incidence and more than double the mortality rate from prostate cancer, and he urges routine PSA screening.
