WASHINGTON: Joe Biden recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer lesions, a spokesperson said Thursday, the latest health challenge for the former president.<\/p>\n
His spokesperson Kelly Scully confirmed the surgery after Inside Edition published video of Biden leaving church in Delaware with a fresh scar on his forehead.<\/p>\n
She said Biden received Mohs surgery, a procedure used to cut away skin until no evidence of cancer remains.<\/p>\n
Two years ago, while Biden was in office, he had a lesion removed from his chest. The lesion was basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer.<\/p>\n
In May, Biden\u2019s office announced that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones.<\/p>\n
\u201cCancer touches us all,\u201d Biden wrote on social media at the time. \u201cLike so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Biden family has faced cancer repeatedly over the years. Biden\u2019s son Beau died of a brain tumor, and his wife, Jill, had two cancerous lesions removed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
