McCain’s Biopsy Negative

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Health Care, McCain

As mentioned in my previous post about the initial discovery and removal, if the mole had been cancerous the survival rates are still very, very good.

But it looks like McCain won’t have to worry:

(CNN) — A biopsy on a patch of skin removed from John McCain’s temple Monday shows no evidence the Arizona senator has skin cancer, the Mayo clinic announced.

“Senator McCain visited the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, yesterday for a routine check of his dermatological health,”

Michael Yardley, Chair of Public Affairs at the Mayo Clinic, said in a statement issued Tuesday. “The biopsy that was performed did not show any evidence of skin cancer. No further treatment is necessary.”

Moving on…
