President Joe Biden was discovered to have skin cancer at his annual physical in February and underwent surgery to remove it. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States but if detected early, can be effectively treated. According to doctors, five signs indicate whether spots on the skin are cancerous.

White House physician Kevin O'Connor confirmed that recent test results proved the tissue removed from Biden at the time was basal cell carcinoma, one of the three major types of skin cancer. The president’s cancer lesion has been completely removed and no further treatment is needed.
