The most recent gaffe made by the president occurred during his speech on global warming that he gave in Massachusetts on Wednesday.

During his discussion of the dangers posed to human health by pollution from oil refineries located close to the house where he spent his childhood in Claymont, Delaware, Biden gave the impression that he has cancer.

That’s why I have cancer, along with so many other individuals I grew up with, and why Delaware used to have the highest cancer incidence in the country, according to Biden.

It’s unclear if this was the president’s most recent verbal slip-up or an admission of his health situation.

However, a health brief prepared by the White House in 2021 states that Biden underwent surgery to eradicate non-melanoma skin tumors.

“It is well known that Vice President Biden spent a lot of time in the sun when he was younger,” the report says.

Before he became president, he had Mohs surgery to remove a few small skin cancers that were not melanoma. These growths were cut out completely, leaving clear edges.

“For dermatologic surveillance, a full-body skin exam was done. Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen was used to treat a few small areas of actinic change, but there are no spots that look like they might be skin cancer at this time. There was no need for a biopsy, “the report ends.

A group of tumors that develop slowly in the epidermis is referred to as non-melanoma skin cancer by the National Health Service (NHS).

The word “non-melanoma” is used to differentiate these more frequent forms of skin cancer from melanoma, which is a less common form of skin cancer but can have more severe consequences.
