Minnesota Gov. Dayton's Cancer 'Treatable and Curable'
By KYLE POTTER, ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PAUL, Minn. — Feb 2, 2017, 1:15 PM ET
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton's doctors said Thursday that his recently revealed prostate cancer was caught early and hasn't spread, making the cancer "treatable and curable."
"The governor should be able to carry on his duties serving the citizens of Minnesota without significant interruption," Mayo Clinic spokesman Karl Oestreich said.
Dayton visited the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester this week for several rounds of tests. The Democratic governor revealed the diagnosis a day after he collapsed during his State of the State address — an episode doctors said was likely related to dehydration, not the cancer.
Prostate cancer is among the most common forms of cancer in men, especially those over 65.
