James Pickens Jr has confirmed he is cancer-free, sharing the personal milestone while urging others—particularly Black men—to stay proactive about prostate health. The Grey’s Anatomy actor revealed his recovery after completing treatment for prostate cancer, a diagnosis he has chosen to speak about openly in recent months.

His announcement followed a message aired at the end of Thursday’s episode of the long-running medical drama. In the televised PSA, Pickens Jr highlighted the value of early testing, stating, “I’m living proof that early detection works." The clip was aimed at viewers who may be at heightened risk and encouraged them to prioritise routine screenings.
