Former US President Joe Biden recently underwent skin cancer surgery, his spokeswoman confirmed. This latest procedure follows several prior instances of cancerous skin lesions being removed.

• Biden had Mohs surgery, a procedure used to remove skin until no cancer remains.
• The 82-year-old had a wound on the right side of his head.
• In 2023, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest.
• He was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in May that spread to his bones.
