The actor-director Ben Stiller has spoken about his diagnosis with prostate cancer.
Speaking on the Howard Stern Show, Stiller said he was diagnosed with “immediately aggressive” prostate cancer two years ago, and has had surgery to treat it.
Appearing alongside his surgeon, Stiller, 50, said he hoped being open about his own experiences would lead to greater awareness of prostate cancer’s symptoms.
After seeing a urologist, who told him he had cancer, Stiller then spoke to “a bunch of different” doctors, including Robert De Niro’s physician, eventually having surgery to remove the prostate.
