US President Joe Biden's February biopsy confirmed he had basal cell carcinoma and all cancerous tissue was successfully removed, White House physician Kevin O'Connor said on Friday (local time).
Biden will continue dermatologic surveillance as part of his ongoing healthcare but the site of the biopsy has healed and no further treatment is needed, the White House physician added.
Last month, doctors declared Biden, 80, healthy and "fit for duty" after a physical examination.
In 2021, Biden had a benign polyp removed.
During a routine colonoscopy that year, he temporarily transferred power to Vice President Kamala Harris, who became the first woman to assume presidential power in US history.
