LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com)  —   Governor Jerry Brown's office announced Saturday that he will undergo radiation treatment for prostate cancer next month or early March.

His office said he will continue to work through his treatment.

Brown's oncologist, Dr. Eric Small, said the governor's disease isn't extensive and his prognosis is "excellent."

Brown was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in December 2012 and underwent a course of radiotherapy.
