'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams says his chances of cancer recovery are 'essentially zero'

Scott Adams, the 68-year-old creator of the long-running comic strip “Dilbert,” shared a grim health update about his prostate cancer diagnosis.

During a livestream of his show “Real Coffee with Scott Adams” on Thursday, Adams shared details from a conversation he had with his radiologist the day before.

“It’s all bad news,” Adams said. “The odds of me recovering are essentially zero.”

“I’ll give you any updates if that changes, but it won’t,” he added.

Adams told fans that January will likely be a “month of transition,” adding that he will continue livestreaming for “as long as it makes sense.”

“I like doing it,” Adams said. “Keeps me busy.”

On Nov. 2, 2025, Adams publicly called on President Donald Trump on X to help him get Pluvicto, saying his insurance provider “dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer” the drug.

Later that day, Trump replied “On it!” in a repost of Adams’ request on social media.

On Nov. 3, 2025, Adams provided an update on X, writing, “Getting Pluvicto (the cancer drug) tomorrow, via Kaiser Northern California. The Trump administration works fast. Amazing.”

On Dec. 13, 2025, Adams gave fans an update while livestreaming from his hospital bed, sharing that his Pluvicto treatment had to be postponed due to his radiation treatment.
