Bruce Campbell announced that he has been diagnosed with a form of cancer that is «treatable» but, unfortunately, not «curable». The 67-year-old actor, best known for the «Evil Dead» franchise, made this statement on March 2, 2026. He warned that he would be appearing in public less frequently and would change his work schedule to focus on treatment.
Here’s what we know about Bruce’s battle with cancer and his health at this time.
As mentioned, Bruce is currently 67 years old.
He did not specify which exact form of cancer he has been diagnosed with, only noting in his public statement, published on X.com in March 2026, that it is incurable.
«Hello, friends», - he began. «These days, when someone has health issues, it’s called an 'opportunity,' so let’s consider it that way—I have one of those opportunities. It’s also referred to as a type of cancer that is 'treatable' but not 'curable.' I apologize if this is shocking—it was unexpected for me as well».
Bruce added that the «good news» is that he does not intend to «go into details».
«I'm sharing this because, professionally, some things will need to change—appearances at events and work in general will have to take a back seat to treatment», - he continued. «My plan is to recover as best as I can this summer so that I can go on tour in the fall with my new film 'Ernie and Emma.'»
He also mentioned that he would have to cancel «a few events this year», - adding, «I'm very sorry. The needs of treatment and professional commitments don’t always go hand in hand. That’s all. I’m not trying to elicit sympathy—or advice—I just want to get ahead of any misinformation (which will undoubtedly arise). Don’t worry, I’m a tough old man and I have great support, so I expect to be with you for a long time. As always, you are the best fans in the world, and I hope to see you soon!»
Treatable but incurable cancer typically refers to stage four, advanced, or metastatic diseases. These can include metastatic cancers of the prostate, lungs, pancreas, liver, blood, or brain.
Treatment for an incurable form of cancer generally focuses on reducing the tumor and managing the patient’s symptoms
