Joe Biden has undergone a surgical procedure to remove cancerous skin cells and is recovering well, according to NBC News.
Former U.S. President Joe Biden recently underwent a procedure which involved removing cancerous cells from his skin known as Mohs surgery.
NBC News reported on Thursday citing a spokesperson. The surgery is a widely used method for treating the most common types of skin cancer.
Biden, 82, went through the procedure just months after disclosing in May that he had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer.
His medical team has described the condition as aggressive but hormone-sensitive, meaning it is expected to respond to prescribed treatments.
No additional comment was provided by the spokesperson on Thursday regarding the outcome of the surgery.
This is not the first time Biden has dealt with skin-related issues. During a routine physical in 2023, while serving as president, a skin lesion was removed and later confirmed as basal cell carcinoma, a common and generally treatable form of skin cancer.
Biden’s health, both physical and cognitive, was a consistent topic of scrutiny during his time in office.
In July 2024, he unexpectedly withdrew from the presidential race, following widespread concern among Democratic Party leaders and voters after a shaky debate performance against Donald Trump.
Elected in 2020 at the age of 77, Biden held the record for being the oldest U.S. president in history until it was surpassed in 2024 when Donald Trump, now 79, won the presidency.
Since stepping down, Biden has remained largely out of the public eye. In April, he made a rare appearance to deliver a speech defending the Social Security Administration in the face of proposed cuts by the Trump administration.
Biden's recent surgery has not been followed by any new public appearances. His team has not yet indicated whether he will return to public engagements in the near future.
