"All cancerous tissue was successfully removed. The area around the biopsy site was treated presumptively with electrodessication and curettage at the time of biopsy. No further treatment is required,” he said. The site of the biopsy has "healed nicely”, the doctor added, and said the President's medical team “will continue dermatologic surveillance as part of his ongoing comprehensive healthcare”.
Mr Biden had the lesion removed when he underwent his annual physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre on February 16. At the time Dr O'Connor said the president "remains a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief”.His wife, first lady Jill Biden in January underwent surgery to have a skin cancer lesion removed from above her right eye, which had been discovered during a routine skin cancer screening.
