Joe Biden recently underwent surgery to treat skin cancer, according to a spokesperson. The procedure, known as Mohs surgery, involves removing thin layers of skin until all cancerous tissue is eliminated, ensuring minimal damage to healthy surrounding skin. This method is commonly used for basal cell carcinoma, the most prevalent form of skin cancer.
Biden’s medical team confirmed he is recovering well from the operation. Earlier this year, a cancerous lesion was removed from his chest during a routine examination, with doctors stating all malignant tissue was successfully excised. His wife, Jill Biden, also underwent treatment in 2023 for similar lesions, which were identified as basal cell carcinoma.
Recent images of Biden showed a visible incision on his head, sparking public discussion. The surgery follows a separate diagnosis of Stage 4 prostate cancer, classified as highly aggressive with a severe Gleason score. Doctors have emphasized the challenges posed by these health issues, though no further details about Biden’s condition were disclosed.
