Former US President Joe Biden recently underwent surgery to remove cancerous cells from his skin, just months after he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
The procedure, known as Mohs surgery, is commonly used to treat the most common forms of skin cancer.
Biden’s spokesperson did not say when the surgery took place, but is recovering well, US media reported.
In August the former president was pictured leaving a church in Delaware with a bandaged scar on his forehead.
Biden revealed in May he had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer.
His team described the illness as aggressive but hormone-sensitive, meaning it is likely to respond to treatment.
Biden previously had a skin lesion removed during a routine physical in 2023 while serving as president. That lesion was identified as basal cell carcinoma.
During his presidency, Biden’s physical health and mental acuity were frequent topics of scrutiny.
He abruptly ended his bid for re-election in July 2024, just weeks after a faltering debate performance against Donald Trump triggered widespread concern within the Democratic Party.
Biden was the oldest person ever elected president at the time of his 2020 victory. That record was surpassed last year when Trump, now 79, was elected president.
Since leaving office, Biden has kept a relatively low profile, making only a few public appearances. In April, he delivered a speech defending the Social Security Administration against proposed cuts from the Trump administration.
