Roll Call reports that Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) has been diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer and is beginning treatment. Sensenbrenner, 66 years old and first elected to Congress in 1978, said in a statement that there should be no change to his current work schedule:

In late July, during a routine checkup, my PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels were found to be high, which can be an indicator of prostate cancer. After some additional testing was conducted, the doctor confirmed that I have an early stage of prostate cancer. Fortunately, it was caught in time, and the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate.

The statement also quoted Sensenbrenner's doctor as saying the cure rate is between 85 and 95 percent.

He has announced he plans to seek a 17th term in 2010.
