HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, he announced this morning, saying the cancer is treatable and will not interfere with his duties as governor.

Mr. Wolf, 67, said the cancer was found early through a routine check-up and that he will begin treatment in the next few weeks.

The governor emphasized that he will not be incapacitated by the cancer or treatment. And he used the announcement to encourage others to schedule regular doctor's visits.
