First lady Jill Biden has cancerous lesion removed from near her right eye.
"All cancerous tissue was successfully removed, and the margins were clear of any residual skin cancer cells," White House Physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a memo to the first lady's press secretary Vanessa Valdivia released Wednesday afternoon. "We will monitor the area closely as it heals, but do not anticipate any more procedures will be needed."
"As anticipated, the First Lady is experiencing some facial swelling and bruising but is in good spirits and feeling well," O'Connor said. "Mohs surgery is considered the most effective technique for treating many basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas , the two most common types of skin cancer," according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. "Sometimes called Mohs micrographic surgery, the procedure is done in stages, including lab work, while the patient waits. This allows the removal of all cancerous cells for the highest cure rate while sparing healthy tissue and leaving the smallest possible scar.
