Actor Dennis Hopper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is cancelling all forthcoming appearances to focus on treatment, his manager has said.

Sam Maydew revealed the star is undergoing a "special programme" of treatment in California, adding, "we're hoping for the best."

Earlier on this month the 73-year-old was admitted to hospital in New York.

It was disclosed the Easy Rider star was treated for severe flu-like symptoms and dehydration.

Hopper had been expected to appear at an exhibition in Australia, entitled Dennis Hopper And The New Hollywood, which was a collection of his artwork and photography.

Tony Sweeney, a spokesman for the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, said: "Obviously his health is the number one priority and we wish him a very speedy recovery."

The Oscar-nominated actor, who is also an accomplished writer, director and artist, is also known for films including Blue Velvet and Apocalypse Now.

He is currently appearing in a TV adaptation of the 2004 Oscar-winning film Crash.
