Doctors on Wednesday successfully removed two cancerous growths on the US first lady, Jill Biden, and she is now considered clear of danger, the White House physician said.
WASHINGTON, United States –
“The procedure confirmed that the small lesion was basal cell carcinoma. All cancerous tissue was successfully removed and the margins were clear of any residual skin cancer cells,” O’Connor wrote. They also found another “small lesion” on her left eyelid, which was “fully excised, with margins, and was sent for standard microscopic examination.” O’Connor noted that basal cell carcinoma lesions “do not tend to spread or metastasize, as some more serious skin cancers.” The Mohs procedure is done with local anesthetic and is considered highly effective, if done early enough, at eradicating formations of skin cancer.
