McCain's Biopsy Results: No Cancer

Saturday August 2, 2008
It's a report we all want to get after having a biopsy, no cancer. John McCain had a spot on his skin removed at the Mayo Clinic to check for skin cancer. Because he's had melanoma in the past, he gets regular checks every 3 months. Typically, for melanoma survivors, any remotely abnormal skin lesion is biopsied to make sure it is not a recurrent cancer.

According to his campaign, Senator McCain's biopsy did not show any evidence of skin cancer.
