Biden, 82, underwent Mohs surgery, which is a common outpatient procedure to remove high-risk skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Mohs surgery has a cure rate of up to 99%, the lowest recurrence rate of any other skin cancer treatment, per the Clinic.

In addition, Mohs surgery is most commonly treats forms of skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, as well as certain forms of melanoma.

2. Joe Biden is the personification of strength

Hit after hit, he takes it and never blames, complains or strikes out. How much can one person endure.

We had it so good.

God Bless Joe Biden and the Biden family.

3. Do we know which kind of skin cancer it is?

Only one has high lethality.

6. This statistic is quite misleading.

If the lesion is a melanoma which has metastasized there is a high mortality rate.

4. Isn't he also being treated for prostate cancer?

Or is that some other dem politician?

Sending healing vibes to you and your family, Mr. President.
