US President’s physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor wrote in a letter to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that the mass was removed and a biopsy was performed. “As expected,” the lesion tested positive for basal cell carcinoma, O’Connor wrote.
“All the cancerous tissue was successfully removed,” K. O’Connor wrote.
He added that Mr. Biden will continue “dermatological care.” Mr. Biden’s doctor said that “no further treatment” was needed.
Mr O’Connor said the area where the cancerous growth was removed had “healed beautifully”.
“President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old man who can successfully carry out the duties of the presidency, including the duties of chief executive officer, head of state and commander in chief of the military,” O’Connor said in February following Biden’s medical examination. .
Mr. O’Connor wrote that the president “spent a lot of time in the sun in his youth” and that he already had regular treatments to remove localized non-melanoma skin cancer.
