Skin cancer was successfully removed in February. Further treatment is not necessary, said the doctor.
US President Joe Biden had a cancerous skin tumor removed from his chest in February. This is stated in a letter released by the White House from physician Kevin O’Connor.
Biden’s doctor said that after the operation, the president’s skin healed well, and a biopsy showed that it was basal cell carcinoma. He noted that further treatment was not necessary.
“The biopsy site has healed well and the President will continue dermatological follow-up as part of his ongoing comprehensive medical care,” O’Connor wrote.
These lesions are not as likely to spread or metastasize as some more serious skin cancers, O’Connor says.
In February, Biden was reportedly declared “fit” to serve as president. The 80-year-old American leader successfully passed a three-hour medical exam at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Earlier, Biden said he was considering running in the 2024 presidential election. According to him, age and health are not obstacles.
