- Former U.S. President Joe Biden has undergone Mohs surgery to remove cancerous skin cells from his forehead, adding to a growing list of health challenges.
- At 82, Biden is also battling advanced prostate cancer and has faced multiple skin cancer diagnoses over the years.
- His latest procedure comes as he continues to maintain a low public profile, while remaining a vocal advocate for cancer awareness.
Joe Biden has once again undergone surgery to treat cancer—this time, a skin lesion on his forehead. The 82-year-old former U.S. president received Mohs surgery, a meticulous procedure that removes cancerous skin cells layer by layer until no trace remains. The news surfaced after Biden was spotted with a visible wound on the right side of his head, prompting speculation and concern.
This latest procedure adds to a growing list of health battles. In May, Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones. And back in 2023, he had a basal cell carcinoma removed from his chest during a routine screening.
Biden’s relationship with cancer is deeply personal. His son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015, a loss that inspired the launch of the “Cancer Moonshot” initiative during Biden’s time as vice president. Since leaving office in January, Biden has largely stepped away from public engagements, making only occasional appearances.
Despite his health challenges, Biden continues to use his platform to advocate for cancer research and support. “We are strongest in the broken places,” he once wrote—a sentiment that now echoes louder than ever.
