Foreign media such as Reuters reported on the 4th (local time) that the lesion removed by US President Joe Biden during a health checkup last month was confirmed to be carcinoma, and did not require additional treatment. President Biden’s health condition is said to be good.
According to reports, on the 3rd, White House physician Kevin O’Connor said, “As a result of the biopsy, the lesion was confirmed to be basal cell carcinoma.” “All tissues associated with cancer were removed successfully.”
With the hope that Biden will challenge for re-election in 2024, his health condition is attracting great attention in US politics. This is because he celebrated his 80th birthday in November last year and became the first ’80th president’ in the history of the United States, and questions have been constantly raised about his poor health due to frequent speech mistakes. Accordingly, on the 16th of last month, President Biden received a medical examination for the second time during his term at Walter Reed Military Hospital in Maryland. At the time, the White House announced that President Biden had one wound removed from his chest, but received results that made him fit to carry out his duties. The result of a biopsy from the lesion removed at the time was released this time. CNN predicted about President Biden’s health checkup, “This will likely be the last checkup before the president announces his intention to be re-elected.”
Nikki Haley, former US ambassador to the United Nations, who announced her second presidential run from the Republican Party last month after former President Donald Trump (77), said, “We need to do a ‘test of ability’ mental’ is mandatory for politicians over the period. 75 years old,” Biden and Trump said. He announced that he would raise the issue of ageing.
